This morning, I woke up told God I was broke.
Not in some fancy or church sounding prayer. Just a real talk. I asked Him to help me out. To send provision. Maybe some cash from somewhere, or something to come through.
The funny thing about God is He does answer prayers, just not always how we picture it.
I left the house with the fried yam I made for breakfast. When I got to the estate gate, it was locked, so cars had to go through the other one. Because of that little delay, I bumped into a guy from my office building who offered me a ride to work.
At the office, I ate the food I brought from home and only spent a bit on tea.
In the evening, the staff bus dropped me at my usual stop. Normally I’d have to pay for a ride home from there, but right as I got down, my neighbour was driving back into the estate and gave me a lift.
By the end of the day, I hadn’t spent a single naira on transport.
I asked God for money.
Instead, He cut down what I needed to spend,meaning that he cut down on my expenses.
I asked for provision.
He gave it me through rides, perfect timing, and things that looked like random coincidences.
Sometimes we’re expecting the answer in one way, while God is already sorting it out in another.
Not every answered prayer comes as cash in hand. Sometimes it shows up as favour, wisdom, good timing, protection, or even a locked gate that puts you in the right place.
God answers. His ways are just more creative than ours.
Have you ever been so tired that quitting felt like common sense?
Last year my side hustle owed me two months, Lagos traffic stole three hours daily. I noticed my brain was tricking me, it magnified every small loss because it wanted relief now, not progress later.
I started telling myself just one more day and somehow those days stacked into a contract that cleared my rent.
Sticking isn’t about motivation, it’s about outlasting the part of you that wants to tap out early.
Who’s in their one more day season?
