Comfort is poison to growth. Progress, and especially progress in the faith, is not made from a Lay-Z Boy. It is made with sweat, tears, and sometimes blood. A toddler learning to walk falls and gets bruised. A 7-year old taking off his training wheals for the first time falls and gets abrasions. A teenager trying to stick an ollie or sweet half-pipe landing falls and breaks a bone.
And so it is with your growth in faith. Put some elbow-grease into it, get dirty and bloody, and work out your salvation. And you know you can work it out successfully, since God is the one working in you. In other words, He is the power behind your work, the generator to your light bulb, and what better assurance could you have that your work will succeed?
Do not be content with comfortable.
