3 Powerful Steps to Follow Your Calling with Confidence

Woman flexing her biceps in confidence
Is fear keeping you from following God’s purpose for your life? If so, you’re in good company. In today’s show, we’ll explore the power of faith over fear and I’ll share three powerful steps to kick fear to the curb and follow your calling with confidence.

Every week in the Confident Prayer Warrior program, I host a live Q&A session, and there’s always a recurring theme: fear, insecurity, lack of confidence, and self-doubt.

Many of my students express feeling paralyzed by these vulnerabilities, unsure of how to move forward in prayer and obedience to God’s calling. And if there’s one thing I’ve learned over the years, it’s that if one person is struggling with something, there are always more wrestling with the same things in silence.

Plus I’m dropping a powerful truth bomb on you: You can’t wait to step out until the fear is gone. You must follow your calling with confidence by taking action, in the midst of fear.

How to Pray for Your Husband When You Don’t Know What to Say

October 9, 2026

You noticed it at dinner.

Your husband was quieter than usual, and when you asked how work went, he said, “Fine.” But you’ve been married long enough to know when fine doesn’t really mean fine.

You knew something was weighing on him — something just felt off.

Later that night, lying beside him in the dark, you wished you knew how to help. So you did the one thing you knew you could do — you prayed, “Lord, help him.”

It was honest and exactly what you wanted God to do. But almost as soon as you said it, you started wondering if you should have said more.

Is that really enough? Shouldn’t I know how to pray for my own husband?

Maybe you’ve joined the 31-day prayer challenges for wives, or you started the prayer book that’s still sitting on your nightstand with a bookmark somewhere around chapter three. You’ve heard other women pray confidently for their husbands, covering everything from his work and health to your husband’s relationships, protection, and spiritual life.

Meanwhile, you’re struggling just to put one sentence together.

And when you love someone this much, it’s easy for that struggle to start feeling like more than simply not knowing what to say. You begin wondering if you’re doing this “right” or whether your prayers for him are making any difference at all.

But sometimes the reason we don’t know what to say isn’t because we have nothing to pray about. It’s because we’ve put so much pressure on ourselves to say the right thing that an honest prayer no longer feels like enough.

So before we talk about what to pray for your husband, I want to take some of that pressure off.

Because learning how to pray for your husband doesn’t begin with finding more powerful words. It begins with understanding what God actually asks of us when we come to Him in prayer.

Lord, Help My Unbelief: A Prayer When Faith Feels Hard

October 2, 2026

You’ve prayed about it more times than you can count.

At first, you prayed with confidence. You believed God was working even when you couldn’t yet see it. But now you’re praying about the same situation for the third year in a row.

And somewhere in the middle of another prayer, you think, “I don’t even know if I believe this will change anymore.”

Almost as quickly as you think it, the guilt creeps in. I mean, what kind of Christian doubts God while she prays?
