There are moments when you have had to face a giant in your life that was so much larger than anything your own strength could overcome. When the obstacle in front of you was so intimidating that the gap between where you stood and where you needed to be felt completely impossible to close in your own ability.

But every giant God has allowed to stand in your path has already been measured against the strength of the One standing beside you and found to be no match whatsoever. He has never once placed you in front of something that His power within you was not already more than equipped to bring down. What looks like an undefeatable giant to you is simply another opportunity for God to show His power through your willingness.

Pick up your stone and step forward in faith. The giant in front of you has already been defeated by the God who is standing behind you.

God sees every moment you have had to rebuild your trust in Him after a season that left you with more questions than answers. Every time you chose to come back to Him even when what He allowed felt confusing and the process of finding your footing in faith again required more courage than starting from scratch ever would have.

Returning to God after a season of doubt is never a step backward. Every time you choose to trust Him again after a hard season you are building a faith that is deeper and more unshakeable than the one you had before the storm.

There are times when you have had to make a decision that nobody around you understood and that you could not fully explain even to the people who knew you best. When God's direction was so clear in your spirit but so impossible to articulate to anyone outside of your own private walk with Him.

Walking in obedience to what only you can hear requires a confidence in your relationship with God that cannot be borrowed from anyone else's experience. It is built quietly over time through every moment you chose to trust His voice over every other voice competing for your attention.

The more intimately you know His voice the less you will need the validation of others before you take the steps He is asking you to walk in and the more confidently you will move when He speaks.

"What I am asking you to do will not always come with an explanation for others. Trust that I will make it clear in My own perfect time."

There are seasons when you have had to press forward in purpose while simultaneously processing pain that nobody around you even knew you were carrying. When you were building something on the outside while quietly falling apart on the inside and the only thing holding both together was a grace that could only have come from God.

He has seen every moment you showed up fully for your calling while privately bleeding from wounds that had not yet had the space to heal. That kind of perseverance is not ordinary and it does not go unnoticed by the One who placed the assignment on your life in the first place. What you built while broken will carry a weight and an anointing that nothing built in comfort could ever fully match.

Keep going even in the tension of building and healing simultaneously. God is honoring both the work and the wounds at the same time.

God is aware of every time you have had to watch someone walk away from a relationship with Him and still chose to keep praying for them faithfully even when every visible sign suggested that your prayers were having no effect whatsoever.

Intercession that continues in the face of no visible results is one of the most powerful forms of love a person can demonstrate. Every prayer you have ever prayed for a prodigal heart has been heard and is being held by a God who never stops pursuing the ones who have walked away from Him.

There are seasons when you have had to watch everything you worked so hard to build go through a period of shaking so severe that you were not sure what would be left standing when it was finally over. When the foundation of your life felt like it was being tested in every possible direction all at once.

But God never allows shaking in your life without a purpose behind every tremor. What cannot survive the shaking was never meant to be a permanent part of what He is building in you. What remains after the shaking is what is truly strong enough to carry the weight of everything He is about to place on it.

Let the shaking do its work without losing your peace. What God has built in you was designed to withstand every storm that was ever going to come against it.

"I am not shaking your life to destroy it. I am shaking it to reveal what is strong enough to remain and what was never meant to stay."

Inspired from — Hebrews 12:27

There are moments when the weight of disappointment has settled so deeply into your heart that hope itself has begun to feel like a dangerous thing to hold onto. When you have been let down so many times that protecting yourself from further hurt has felt wiser than opening your heart to believe again.

But God has never once let down a heart that chose to trust Him completely. Every disappointment you have experienced at the hands of people or circumstances has never once originated from His hand. He is the only source of hope that has never and will never leave you more broken than you were when you first came to Him

Open your heart to hope again today. What God has for you is worth the vulnerability of daring to believe one more time.

There are times when you have had to navigate a storm completely alone because the people around you either could not understand what you were facing or simply were not available to walk through it beside you. When the isolation of a private battle made an already difficult season feel almost unbearable.

But God has never once stood at a distance while one of His own walked through fire. He does not observe your suffering from afar. He enters into it with you, walks through every moment of it beside you and ensures that you come out the other side carrying only what was meant to survive the flame.

You were never as alone in your hardest moments as it felt. God was there in every single one of them closer than your very own breath.

"I was with you in the fire. I am with you now. And I will be with you in everything that is still yet to come."

Inspired from — Isaiah 43:2

God is fully aware of every moment this season has asked more of you than you felt you had left to give. Every day that stretched your patience, your endurance and your faith to a place that felt dangerously close to the breaking point yet somehow you found the strength to keep standing.

That strength was never entirely your own. Every moment you thought you were holding on by yourself God was the One holding on through you and making sure you never fell further than His hands could reach.

Trust God with the ones you love. He sees them, knows them, and is caring for them even when you cannot. ❤️🙏

There are moments when you have had to trust God with the future of your children or the people you love most in this world. When you have done everything within your power to guide them well and still had to release them into a world that you could not fully protect them from no matter how much you wanted to.

Releasing those you love most into God's hands is one of the most profound acts of faith a human heart can perform. He loves them with a depth and a completeness that even your greatest love for them cannot match and He is watching over every detail of their lives with a care that never sleeps and never looks away.

What you cannot protect with your own hands is perfectly safe in the hands of a God who loves them even more deeply and completely than you ever could.

"Trust Me with the ones you love. I see them, I know them and I am already at work in every part of their story."

Inspired from — Isaiah 54:13
