Your Breakthrough Year | Don’t Live the Same Year Twice!ਨਮੂਨਾ

Walking in Purpose When You Still Feel Unqualified

I love the vibe of a new year—energy, goals, hope, and Jesus. But even though it’s a new year, we often bring along our insecurities, doubts, past experiences, and beliefs, both good and bad. Just because the calendar changes doesn’t mean our feelings automatically do.

Even while walking in your vision or purpose, you may still feel unqualified. I’ve been in ministry for eight years and written hundreds of devotionals, and I still sometimes feel unqualified to do this. But your feelings of inadequacy don’t have to stop you, hold you back, or limit what God has called you to do.

Stopping the cycle of living the same year twice means showing up even when you don’t feel ready. It’s making the call, sending the email, applying for the job, writing the book—all while thinking, “I’m not quite ready.” That’s exactly when you need to do it.

Moses didn’t feel qualified for his calling, either. Walking in purpose and vision requires trusting that Jesus qualifies us. His blood covers us and equips us with gifts, armor, tools, and insight we don’t have on our own. We may not feel qualified when we start, but He qualifies us as we go.

Don’t live the same year twice by waiting to feel qualified. Step out now, and watch God do what only He can do.

Reflection:

What is one area of your life where you’ve been waiting to feel “ready” or “qualified”? Take a moment to write it down and ask God to give you the courage to take that next step in faith, trusting that He will equip you as you go.
