Olivia Lane has shared how God guided her through fear and uncertainty. The musician says that she came to a place in her life and career where she felt called into a specific direction, but she was unsure what to do next. Watch the short but powerful and moving story of how Olivia answered God’s call and how He guided and directed her through fear and uncertainty.

Most people like being in control or, at the very least, knowing what is coming and what lies ahead. This would allow us to prepare for whatever is coming. However, that is rarely, if ever, how life works. Many would conclude that life is a series of unexpected events and that what matters is how we respond to those situations and circumstances.

But it’s still human nature to be nervous and apprehensive when the road ahead is uncertain, and the outcome is murky. In a clip posted on YouTube, Olivia shares how she was facing an unclear and uncertain situation in her life. After giving her life to Christ, the musician felt called to write and produce songs about Jesus but being a country artist for 10 years; she naturally had a great deal of fear and anxiety.

As she shares, all she could do at that point was rely on Christ and His direction for her path forward.

“And I remember going for a hike, and I was talking with the Lord and praying, and I just asked Him, ‘Lord, what do you want me to do with my music? Like, I need clear direction here. This is my calling, I feel. This is what I want to do with my life, but I want to honor You in it,’” she said.

She mentioned the Lord answered her, telling her to begin writing songs about Him. She says that even though she felt and heard His response, she still didn’t know anyone in the Christian music world, and she wasn’t sure if this would work.

“I didn’t know what the next steps really were, but I knew how to write a song, and I knew that God would handle the outcome,” she said. “I just had to be obedient to His call, and man, the Lord showed up and totally blew up my life but in the best way possible.”
