2nd July - You’re Closer Than You Think - Encouragement for When You Feel Stuck

Ever had one of those weeks where you’re doing all the right things—but you still feel a little stuck?

I was thinking about that this morning. About how we can be praying, showing up, staying faithful… but not feel the breakthrough yet. Not feel the change. It’s like putting a seed in the ground and wondering if it’s even growing. But that doesn’t mean nothing’s happening we all know there's growth happening in the dirt - in the dark.

Just because you can’t see it doesn’t mean God isn’t moving.

Sometimes it’s after the quiet stretch that the miracle shows up. Sometimes the peace comes once you’ve walked through the worry. And sometimes, you only realize how far you’ve come when you stop and look back.

Don’t give up on the process. Heaven hears your prayers. You’re growing, even when it feels slow. And you’re closer than you think.

Action Steps:

• Remind yourself what has changed in the last 3 months.

• Journal a prayer of faith for the next step—even if you don’t feel it yet.

• Play a worship song that lifts your eyes to God's faithfulness—let the lyrics remind you who He is. Let it wash over you like a reminder that He’s still writing your story.

  
  

Think and Say:“I’m growing even when I can’t see it. God is faithful, and I trust Him.”

Bible Verse:"Let us not grow weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up." — Galatians 6:9 (NIV)

You’ve come further than you think—pause for a moment and see how far God has already brought you. He’s not done yet.

Prayer: Jesus, thank You for reminding me that You’re working even in the quiet. Please help me stay faithful, even when it feels slow. I trust You. Keep my heart soft and open, and my spirit expectant. In Jesus' name Amen.
