Start thanking God that He’s fighting your battles. Start shining where you are, being your best despite the difficulties. Don’t wait till it changes; you have to invite God in before He’ll bring you out.
Don’t fight everything you don’t like. If God is closing a door or doing something you don’t understand, be mature enough to say, “God, I trust You. You know what’s best for me. I may be in something difficult, that doesn’t make sense, but I believe a resurrection is coming.”

You went to God with your request. Now add the thanksgiving. Believe that it’s already done. From now on, no more begging God for the same thing. “Father, thank You that I am free. Thank You that I’m whole. Thank You that the power in me is greater than what’s trying to stop me.”
When you let God be your vindicator, He’ll take care of who’s trying to stop you. He’ll deal with the disrespect, the jealousy, the people who are doing you wrong. Don’t fight battles that don’t matter.
It says in Hebrews, “Those who have believed enter into rest.” It’s okay to leave it alone. You don’t have to make it happen in your own efforts. Give yourself permission to rest. Give yourself permission to not worry, not strive. You’ve done your part. Now take your hands off. It’s not going to happen just by your might, by your power, by your intellect. It’s going to be the hand of God.
God’s been watching over you even before you were born. What He started, He’s going to finish. There are gifts and talents in you that He’s about to bring out. You’re going to step into a new boldness, confidence, see favor and increase that your family has never seen.
When we think we’re falling behind, it’s easy to get impatient and try to force things to happen. But God knows how to make up for lost time. He can thrust you ahead.

Stay open. God’s ways are not our ways. Sometimes the brook will dry up, sometimes the manna will cease, sometimes someone will walk away. Those aren’t random. They are necessary endings. It’s the hand of God closing one door to open another door.
Black History Month is a time to recognize the lived, shared experience of all Black folks who have fundamentally shaped, challenged, and ultimately strengthened America. It’s about taking an unvarnished look at the past so that we can create a better future. As we mark 100 years of celebrating Black history, let’s honor the sacrifices of the leaders who came before us, and recommit ourselves to continuing their work.
