Nothing is impossible for God but impossible for a man who lacks faith.
Stepping out of faith is never comfortable that is where the problem really lies. When we feel uneasy about the new things that God is nudging is to do. When you really don't have a whole lot of answers and control about the situation he is taking you to. God will do his part, he had already finished it. Now is your turn to trust where he's leading you. But your faith is what you're really going to stand on, not your theory.Theory means absolutely nothing if not backed by an action. Even love itself is backed by an action.Sometimes you have to trust God even when everyone doubts you.

God is good even when His goodness is inconvenient for you.
Good things are not always pleasant. You will never know the treasures beneath the earth unless you do a little digging. I really hate getting dirty. I have worked many jobs and got down dirty in most of them and even with all the experience as a seaman, an aviation mechanic, a rigger , and a shipwright mechanic, I found those jobs fulfilling in the end. I was able to understand that inconveniences are short lived and the benefits outweigh it by far. God is a surgeon, a gardener, and a dentist. He will work on you and sometimes dig around the place of your inconveniences in other to get you right. He is good all the time and he only need your trust, but his work is never pleasant at times. But when he is done it will be all for good.
Listen to an optimist, tolerate a realist, shut out a pessimist

Never start a journey with a pessimist. It is better to travel alone.
A peskiest person will draw out your weakness. They will find every fault and wrong in all things. It is better not to start with people of this kind. Look to God to give you people with faithful characters. This is where discernment comes in handy. There are many strong, brilliant, and highly gifted people but a few that are faithful. You may start with well with people with great attributes but when pressure comes they will abandon you and find greener pastures. God has never qualified the strong, the wise, the prettiest among us but the faithful. The person who will start any journey with a few faithful will finish the race.

Through faith in God you can conquer all fears.
When you read the word of God especially in Hebrews 11 . You will hear the people of God who made such a remarkable contributions towards the work of God by faith. In spite of many trials and obstacles they overcame and won great victories. Faith is what we really have to have to be successful in anything. When we exercise our faith it brings us out from a place of comfortability and gives way to many avenues we would never imagine or the impossibilities of such adventure.
Fear is a tool that the adversary uses to beat us down to submission. Fear keeps us bound and submerged to a lesser role, a comfortable state, a low expectations, and a pessimist. It does us no good but to think of the possiblity of what we could've been but never actualized. Faith in God's guidance is what we as believers need to stand on. God has promised us victory and with him at the helm. There is no way we can lose. Our victory rest in him and when we obey his word he will take us to a place of victory.
When you have full control over your steps , you are not walking in God's way: you have to yield and let God guide your steps.
Not hearing but doing is not faith
Not doing but hearing is not faith
Faith is hearing and doing
Do not be a man of many words, but a man of many actions.
Speak less and do more!
The difference between God's guidance and your own passion is the end result
Faith is not sitting at the sidelines, it requires work and action.
Pray but be a doer of the word, there are correlated , separate them apart you have no faith.*
To trust God is not a complete hands off of the matter but an expectation of His guidance towards the subject-matter.
