He Brought Me Up: Finding Motivation When Life Feels Stuck

Have you ever felt like life is just not moving forward?

Like every time you try to climb out of a dark place, something pulls you back in? Maybe you're feeling like you're taking one step forward and two steps back. You’re not alone. And more importantly, you’re not forgotten.

Psalm 40 is a chapter that speaks to those exact moments. It begins with these words: “I waited patiently for the Lord; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry.”

David, the writer, was no stranger to hardship. He talks about being in a horrible pit and miry clay — a symbol of feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or spiritually low. But what happened next? “He brought me up... and set my feet upon a rock.”

God is still lifting people today. He is still hearing our cries.

Even when it feels like nothing is changing, God is preparing your breakthrough behind the scenes.

Maybe you feel alone, tired, or unsure of what’s next. But friend, I want to encourage you today:

Keep waiting on God. He hasn't forgotten you. He hasn't given up on you. Your steps are still ordered, even when they feel uncertain.

Let Psalm 40 remind you that:

God hears your cries.

He is strong enough to lift you.

Your story will inspire someone else’s faith.

You may feel like giving up — but don't. Your miracle may be in the next moment of praise.

You’re Not Alone in This

You’re Not Alone in This When life gets heavy — and it does — we sometimes forget that we’re not meant to carry everything on our own. The weight of worry, uncertainty, or exhaustion may press down on your heart, but God is not asking you to be strong all by yourself. In fact, His strength shines brightest when we admit our weakness and lean into Him. Take a deep breath. Inhale peace, exhale fear. For God hath not given us the spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind. - 1 Timothy 1:7. Each step you take, no matter how small, is a step of faith. And you are never taking that step alone. God walks beside you — whispering courage, wrapping you in grace, and holding your heart steady. So tonight, rest in that promise. Tomorrow, rise with new strength. You’re not forgotten. You’re not forsaken. You’re not alone. My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness — 2 Corinthians 12:9 Listen to the podcast episode: Life ...

The Power of Praise: How Psalm 147 Reminds Us of God’s Care

The Power of Praise: How Psalm 147 Reminds Us of God’s Care Life often brings uncertainty, pain, and struggles. In difficult times, it's easy to forget just how powerful and loving our God is. Psalm 147 is a beautiful reminder that God not only controls the universe but also cares deeply for His people. 1. God Heals the Brokenhearted One of the most comforting verses in Psalm 147 is verse 3: "He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds." No matter what trials we face—whether heartbreak, loss, or disappointment—God is always present to restore us. His love is greater than our pain, and His healing is perfect. 2. God’s Power Extends Over All Creation Verse 4 says: "He telleth the number of the stars; he calleth them all by their names." This verse shows that God’s knowledge and power are limitless. If He cares enough to name every star, how much more does He care for us? 3. God Provides for All "He giveth to the beast his food, ...

Your Delay Is Not Denial

Your Delay Is Not Denial Trusting God in the Waiting Season 📖 Habakkuk 2:3 (KJV) – “For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.” Have you ever felt like God was taking too long? You pray. You believe. You wait. And still… it feels like nothing is moving. It’s easy to get discouraged in seasons of delay — especially when others around you seem to be walking into their breakthroughs while you’re stuck wondering “When is it my turn?” But the Word of God in Habakkuk 2:3 brings comfort and clarity: For the vision is yet for an appointed time... That means: God hasn’t forgotten. The promise, the vision, the direction — whatever He placed in your heart — is still alive. But it’s attached to a divine appointment. Just because it hasn’t happened yet doesn’t mean it won’t. 💭 What Is the “Vision”? In Habakkuk’s time, the vision referred to a revelation from Go...
