When It Feels Like...

Some days feel like you’re drowning in weight you can’t drop.

You want to believe there’s a breakthrough ahead…

But your vision is clouded by how far you still have to go.

The thoughts creep in:

“Will I ever escape this season?”

“Am I even making progress?”

“Why does it feel like I’m falling behind?”

But here’s the truth—

Progress doesn’t always announce itself.

Sometimes you’re building momentum that can’t be seen yet.

Sometimes you’re winning just by not quitting.

Especially when it’s hard.

This journey was never promised to be easy.

Not for those in Scripture.

Not for you.

But that’s what makes it worth it.

That’s what makes you different.

So don’t compare your process to anyone else’s.

Your race is not theirs. Your war is not theirs.

Your story isn’t supposed to look like theirs.

Just endure.

Even when it feels like you’re failing, breaking, or stalling.

Because the righteous man falls seven times…

But he gets back up. Every time.

~ Praise God
