“Your Effort Is Not in Vain”
Some days it feels like you’re doing everything right and still watching everything fall apart. You show up. You pray. You give your best. And yet, the results don’t match the effort. But don’t give up. Don’t lose heart. Be strong. Stay positive. Abide in God’s grace. Your efforts are not invisible to God—and they are not in vain.
Seasons of pressure often come just before seasons of breakthrough. What feels like falling apart may actually be God rearranging things for something better. Sometimes He has to shake the ground to strengthen the foundation.
In Galatians 6:9, Paul encourages us: “Let us not grow weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.” That “proper time” is set by God, not by our expectations. But make no mistake—He honors the faithful. He rewards those who endure.
So, Beloved, even when everything feels uncertain, keep sowing love. Keep walking in faith. Keep showing up. The same God who sees your struggle is the One preparing your reward. And what’s coming will be worth everything you’ve endured.
Finally, never forget you’re seen, heard, and deeply loved by the One who holds you in the precious palms of His hands.
Pray With Me:
Father God, thank You for seeing the effort I put in—even when no one else does. Strengthen me to keep going when I feel like giving up. Help me stay positive and anchored in hope, trusting that You are working behind the scenes. I believe that in Your time, the harvest will come. In Jesus’ name we pray, believe, receive, and praise. Amen.
