They expected you to break under the pressure. They didn’t know pressure was producing another version of you. They threw dirt on your name and accidentally fertilized your future. You can’t bury what God called to bloom.
I found a prayer in Ruth 3:18 this morning that says, "Wait, my daughter, until you learn how the matter turns out, for the man will not rest until he has settled the matter," and today this is my prayer: Lord, concerning my life and destiny, let every person You have appointed to help me find no rest until the matter is settled for my good and according to Your perfect will. Let no divine connection, opportunity, or ordained blessing pass me by, and raise helpers, advocates, and voices to speak on my behalf where I cannot. Grant me the grace to wait patiently, trusting Your timing and remaining faithful through every process without anxiety, fear, or doubt. Let every delay serve as preparation, every closed door act as divine protection, and every season of waiting become a testimony of Your unfailing favor, mercy, and faithfulness in my life.
Amen!
