I have been crying out to God for change in some of my circumstances. But in being honest with myself, I realized that I am afraid of change. I am comfortable in my discomfort. It is stable, nothing unexpected really happens. Plenty that I don't like but it's not scary, my life doesn't require me to move outside of my comfort zone. So part of me wants to just stay put. Then something happens that reminds me that I cannot go on living this way.
I know lots of people like that. They hate their life, complain all the time but will do nothing to change it. Even when an opportunity literally falls in their lap, they won't reach out for it. They will stay in their misery.
I want to avoid the sin of Jonah. When God says move, I hope that I will move.
