God’s Not Silent—He’s Preparing You

I’ve had days where the weight was real, when it didn’t feel like a “season” but like the whole climate had changed for the worse—sleepless nights, second-guessing everything, wondering if God even hears my prayers. 

I’m not here to give you empty encouragement. I cannot predict what God will do in your life, but I can assure you that even the longest storms eventually end, and God does listen to your prayers. 

“Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning” (Psalm 30:5).

That's a promise. 

Progress rarely feels like progress.

You’re not going to feel a spark every day. There’s no trumpet blast for choosing to get up when it’s easier not to.

Your choices stack up like bricks, building up into your character. 

And character is what carries you through when motivation disappears.

You don’t need a miracle moment but a rhythm of faith-fueled action. Movement that’s slow but steady, honest, and grounded.

Avoiding pain keeps you comfortable. Facing it gives you direction.

I’ve wasted too many hours trying to outmaneuver discomfort. Thinking that if I just waited long enough, the hard part would pass.

But the growth I craved was waiting on the other side of the thing I kept circling around.

Growth is on the other end of that difficult conversation you’ve been avoiding.
Growth is on the other end of that confession you’ve been withholding from your spouse.
Growth is on the other end of that call you don’t want to make. 

Hebrews 12:11 reminds us that discipline feels heavy now but pays back later, with peace, clarity, and strength that doesn’t crack under pressure.

Live with holy urgency.

Tomorrow isn’t promised, but your potential is. God planted it in you before you were born (Jeremiah 1:5).

That means every hour you waste doubting yourself is one less hour you get to live in alignment with your calling. 

Today is the day you choose to become Him.

One decision.
One action.
One honest prayer.

That’s it. That’s where it starts.

You’re not rebuilding your life in one weekend.
You’re laying one faithful brick at a time. Let that be enough.

If you’re waiting for a sign, this is it.Stay in the fight. You’ve got more in you than you think.
