We all want everything fast, but God knows when the best time is. One of the best things I’ve learned is to trust God’s timing. If it hasn’t happened yet, then it hasn’t been the right time. But when God is ready, all the forces of darkness cannot hold him back.
"God, help me think before I speak so that my words are true, honest, clear, and honoring to You. Use my mouth as an instrument to instruct, encourage, and communicate things that are worthy and true. In Jesus’ name, Amen."
If you could see what God is doing behind the scenes in your life, you would be amazed. He’s already lined up the good breaks, the right people, solutions to problems. The new thing is not going to be ordinary. It’s going to catapult you ahead.
You went to God with your request. Now add the thanksgiving. Believe that it’s already done. 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.”
If you only knew what God had in store, you wouldn’t be disappointed. Yes, it’s discouraging, it’s painful and hard to deal with, but you have to remind yourself that trouble is qualifying you for double. It’s setting you up for something much bigger, much better.
"Father, please give me Your grace to live a life of discipline and self-control—one that is guided by Your Holy Spirit instead of my own fleshly desires. In Jesus' name, Amen!"
Casting our care on God requires humility. As long as we worry, we think we can do something to solve our problems. But when we come to the end of our self-effort and humble ourselves under God’s mighty hand (1 Peter 5:6), He will lift us up and do for us what we could never do for ourselves. #JoyceQuote
God said in Isaiah, “Even to your old age, I am He who will sustain you. I have made you, and I will carry you.” You never get too old for God to carry you. The fact is, God is carrying you right now, but if you don’t recognize it, you’ll live stressed out. You’re in your Father’s arms.
Don’t miss your greatness because you’re dependent on people approving you. Don’t shrink back and let your dreams die because you’re worried about what they may think, what they may say, or how they may not accept you.
No storm is too strong and no problem is too big for our God.
When challenges come, we don’t have to live in fear—we can stand confident that He is with us and working everything together for our good.
Do you believe it? Share a 💙 if you’re trusting God today!

You are truly created for acceptance. You are chosen by God and you are His friend. You are so very special to Him. He will NEVER reject you! #JoyceQuote
Social media makes it so easy to compare and reject who we really are.
But God calls us to delight in who He created us to be. When you embrace His design, you’ll find peace, joy, and freedom to live authentically.
