No matter how impossible that miracle you are praying for seems, please trust that only God knows the full story. He is working. He is hearing and shifting and intervening and convicting and stirring and doing what only He can do.
God gives us “today” grace.
We should only carry what we must on this day. Then tomorrow, we will have tomorrow’s grace. And six months from now, the grace for that day will greet us and help us carry the weight of that day.

As a TCU fan, I hope the alumni never forget when Gary Patterson did for TCU. He made the Horned Frogs into a program of national prominence. The stadium, the facilities, being part of the national discussion, applications from across the US, none of that happens without Coach P
Calling All Frogs…Stay true, stick together & fight on! For the love of family, team & school valiantly persevere. #40not4 will always be our credo. You will always be ours and we yours. #FrogFamily 💜 Mrs.P
God can help us redirect our heart and mind away from anxious thoughts and onto truths and safe assurances found in Him. And we have full permission to pour our hearts out to Him honestly. We can bring every fear, every request, every need to Him without hesitation or apology.
Trying to maintain control in situations I face makes me feel like I’m trusting God when, in reality, I’m just counting on Him to the level that He comes through for me.
Let's rest in the knowledge that the One who brings about good is actively working on our behalf right now.
A hard season doesn’t have to be full of only hard days.
There’s still beauty to be found in the mix of it all. There’s still joy to be found in the midst of it all. And there are still so many reasons to treasure life and thank God.
Dear friend, soak in these words today and speak them out loud over your situation:
- God is the solution for every single one of my troubles.
- God is within me and perfectly equips me to know what to do.
- God is with me therefore there is nothing I’ll face alone.
When friends pray more words over you than they speak to you or about you...
Listen to their wisdom.
Lean into their presence.
Stand on their faith when you have trouble finding footing with your own.
And thank God for these good people.
We don’t know exactly what tomorrow will look like, but we can know who we’ll be looking to... our God whose love is unfailing and whose hand is the safest place to entrust our hope.
He has been faithful before, and He will be faithful again.
