When Frustration Meets Faith



Scripture: Habakkuk 1:1-5
There are moments when our prayers sound like echoes in a storm. We cry out, asking “Lord, do You see this?” and God replies, “I’m doing something you wouldn’t believe if I told you.”

Habakkuk teaches us that faith is not built in comfort—it’s forged in questions. When frustration meets faith, transformation begins. God’s silence is not His absence; it’s the space where hope is growing roots.

So when you feel stretched, misunderstood, or worn thin—pray anyway. Praise anyway. God’s plan is unfolding, even through your tears.

Prayer: Father, turn my frustration into faith and my waiting into worship. Help me to believe that You are working, even now.

Call to Action: Choose one situation that frustrates you most and turn it into a written prayer today—then watch hope rise.

Unapologetically, G.

Mending Brokenness: God’s Call to Forgiveness and Unity

Image
  We live in a world full of division—families torn apart, friendships ended, churches split, and individuals walking around with silent, unhealed wounds. Brokenness is the enemy’s favorite weapon because a divided people are a weakened people. But God calls us to a different way. Through Christ, we are offered healing, forgiveness, and realignment. What the enemy tries to destroy, God desires to rebuild in love and unity. Forgiveness is one of the hardest yet most freeing acts of obedience. It’s not about ignoring pain but refusing to let pain dictate the direction of your life. When we forgive, we unlock healing not just for ourselves, but for everyone connected to us. Unity is the heartbeat of heaven. Scripture reminds us that “a house divided cannot stand” (Mark 3:25) .  This isn’t just about households—it’s about communities, churches, and even our inner life. The cracks in our hearts are mended when we choose love over bitterness, forgiveness over revenge, and unity ove...

“When Nothing Seems to Grow — Trust the Soil”

Image
There are seasons when everything looks still — prayers feel unanswered, progress feels slow, and the days seem heavy. The moments can sting deeply especially when you give so much and receive so little rest for your soul. But the truth is: even in stillness, God is working. A seed doesn’t grow because it’s seen — it grows because it’s planted in the right soil. Your faithfulness, your late nights, your whispered prayers — they are the roots of a harvest yet to come. Dormancy isn’t death; it’s development. God buries us sometimes, not to forget us, but to fortify us. He is strengthening your foundation so that when your harvest season arrives, it will last. So keep watering your faith with prayer. Keep feeding your spirit with grace. Keep showing up, even when you feel unseen. You are not buried. You are being built — for something greater than you can imagine. Unapologetically, G. 🌾

The Hem of Him: Reaching for Hope in Desperate Times

Image
  There’s a woman in Scripture whose story mirrors so much of our human struggle. For twelve years, she carried pain, shame, and disappointment. Doctors had failed her. Resources had run out. Yet, with just enough strength, she pressed her way through the crowd to touch the hem of Jesus’ garment—and in that single act of faith, her life was forever changed (Mark 5:25–34). Her story teaches us timeless truths about what it means to live by faith when life feels overwhelming. --- Just Enough Strength The woman didn’t have much left. After years of suffering, she only had enough faith to whisper, “If I only touch His cloak, I will be healed.” Sometimes, that’s us—running on empty, clinging to a sliver of hope. And yet, that “just enough” strength is all God requires. He honors even the smallest reach of faith. --- Seeking Relief She had tried everything—every doctor, every remedy, every resource—yet nothing worked. Relief finally came, not through people or possessions, but through Je...
