When prayers feel unanswered.<\/p>\n\n

When progress feels invisible.<\/p>\n\n

And in those moments, it\u2019s easy to wonder:<\/p>\n\n

\u201cGod, are You still working?\u201d<\/p>\n\n

The truth is\u2014God does some of His deepest work behind the scenes.<\/p>\n\n

Just because you don\u2019t see movement doesn\u2019t mean nothing is happening.<\/p>\n\n

Just because it\u2019s dark doesn\u2019t mean light isn\u2019t on the way.<\/p>\n\n

God often works in ways we don\u2019t recognize until later.<\/p>\n\n

He\u2019s rearranging things we didn\u2019t even know needed to move.<\/p>\n\n

He\u2019s protecting us from doors we wanted but weren\u2019t ready for.<\/p>\n\n

He\u2019s strengthening our spirit while we\u2019re focused on surviving the moment.<\/p>\n\n

Growth doesn\u2019t always feel like growth.<\/p>\n\n

Sometimes it feels like waiting.<\/p>\n\n

Sometimes it feels like loss.<\/p>\n\n

Sometimes it feels like endurance.<\/p>\n\n

But waiting is not wasted when God is involved.<\/p>\n\n

When You Can\u2019t Count What God Is Doing<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

We live in a world that measures everything\u2014numbers, timelines, milestones.<\/p>\n\n

But God doesn\u2019t work on our clocks or according to our understanding.<\/p>\n\n

You may not be able to count what He\u2019s doing,<\/p>\n\n

but heaven is still moving on your behalf.<\/p>\n\n

Faith is trusting that God sees what you can\u2019t see<\/p>\n\n

and knows what you don\u2019t yet understand.<\/p>\n\n

\ud83d\ude4f\ud83c\udffd\u201cFor we walk by faith, not by sight.\u201d \u2014 2 Corinthians 5:7<\/p>\n\n

Keep Going. Don\u2019t Give Up.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

If you\u2019re tired\u2014rest, but don\u2019t quit.<\/p>\n\n

If you\u2019re confused\u2014pray, but don\u2019t turn back.<\/p>\n\n

If you feel unseen\u2014remember God never loses sight of His children.<\/p>\n\n

The breakthrough you\u2019re praying for<\/p>\n\n

may already be in motion.<\/p>\n\n

The light you\u2019re waiting to see<\/p>\n\n

will shine\u2014sometimes suddenly, sometimes slowly,<\/p>\n\n

but always right on time.<\/p>\n\n

A Word for the One Reading This<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

If you\u2019re still here, still trying, still believing\u2014<\/p>\n\n

that alone is evidence of God\u2019s grace on your life.<\/p>\n\n

You are not forgotten.<\/p>\n\n

You are not behind.<\/p>\n\n

You are not doing this alone.
Never give up.<\/p>\n

God is working\u2014even now.<\/p>\n\n

MERCY15 Reflection\ud83e\udde0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

\ud83d\udcdd Where in your life do you need to trust God\u2019s unseen work?<\/p>\n\n

\ud83d\udcdd What would it look like to surrender control and keep walking in faith today?<\/p>\n\n
