Learn to thrive on challenge and change.

Don’t think that your life will be totally serene and tranquil if you let God lead you. Yes, He is a God of comfort, but He never promised that He would remove all of the problems and troubles from your life. In fact, He promised just the opposite. The Bible says that you can expect tough times. But God equips you to handle anything that He allows to come your way.

You shouldn’t shy away from changes and challenges when you know that God is on your side. You should look forward to them. Oh, sure, you may be nervous because you don’t know what’s coming next. But that feeling keeps you dependent upon God (which is a very good thing).

As God allows challenges into your life, don’t worry about being pushed out of your comfort zone. You aren’t really being pushed out of it. God is just enlarging it.

But those who wait on the Lord will find new strength. They will fly high on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not faint.

Isaiah 40:31
