It's easy to fixate on the gap between what you're hoping for and what's here.

Sometimes we forget that this—the place we’re standing right now—is holy ground.
Not because it’s easy, or tidy, or looks like what we pictured—usually, it looks completely different—but because it’s filled with the fingerprints of God’s faithfulness.

You prayed for strength once, and His supernatural power met you right where you were…with nourishment and hope, He helped you lift your head and fight for joy again.
You prayed for healing, and though it might have included a few detours, you can see how your heart mended in hidden ways. Corners of your soul that you didn’t know needed to be reminded that God can do ANYTHING He wants.
You prayed for provision, and here you are—held, sustained, still standing.
You prayed for connection, intimacy, restoration, wisdom, direction, community, redemption from your mistakes or the hard parts of your life you’d rather forget…whatever it is you’ve prayed for, do you see how the Father has helped you? Held you? Healed you?

Your time used to be filled with crying out for something…and then all of the sudden, the prayers shift. God answers—whether with yes or not yet or “I have a better way” and you forget, soooo easily, what used to burden your heart.

It’s easy to fixate on the gap between what you’re hoping for and what’s here,
but what if you lifted your eyes long enough to notice—
you are living in the middle of a million answered prayers.
Truly a million. Think back. Say it out loud. Give space for deep gratitude today—it is a force against the enemy!

Every breath, every relationship, every morning you wake up with new mercy—it’s all evidence that He has been good, even when life didn’t go as planned.
Actually, PRAISE GOD life didn’t go as planned because His ways and His kindness are so much greater.

So let this remembrance be your faith for the things you’re still waiting on. Let it fuel you forward. Let these altars of faithfulness renew your vigor to keep going.
Because the same God who met you before will meet you again.
He’s not finished. He always completed what He starts🤍
