Arenas of Mission
Jesus: "You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit - fruit that will last." (John 15:16) 
Paul: "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me" - Phil. 4:13

Yes, you can
A prayer by Sir Francis Drake, the first explorer to circumnavigate the earth:
"Disturb us, Lord, when
we are too pleased with ourselves.
When our dreams have come true
because we dreamed too little.
When we arrived safely
because we sailed too close to the shore."

"The ship is safest when it's in port. But that's not what ships were made for."  - Paul Coelho The Pilgrimage (New York: HarperCollins, 1999), p. 22.
