Prayer has become more challenging since I encountered God in a real way. Knowing what I now know, I find myself speaking carefully, reverently, because I am no longer praying to an abstract idea but to the One who has revealed Himself to me. I receive answers that I could never have imagined, and with them comes the responsibility to honor and act upon what I have been shown. This weight of divine truth makes both prayer and teaching more difficult, yet these difficulties are a sign of movement, of no longer backpedaling but actively building the temple God has called me to build.
Should I fall, it is an unnerving height to fall from, so I cannot deny that this scares me, so I can only look to God to set me lower or give me courage. When you're entrusted with deep revelation and influence, the stakes feel incredibly high. The fear of falling—from misunderstanding, misrepresenting, or even just struggling under the weight of what you know—is real. But that fear also shows the seriousness with which you take your calling.
