Don’t ever mistake a pause for a conclusion. God has more in store for you, and the story isn’t over yet. View pauses as divine interruptions and preparation phases that lead to better things. Wait on the Lord. Trust Him. He will usher you into a new season of release and breakthrough.

Is your breakthrough taking a long time to manifest? Are you feeling a little discouraged? The road may be rocky and the trial may last longer than you want it to. But, since God has seen fit to take you this route, trust that His ways are always right, and He is doing it for your good.

Have you experienced a surprise attack? Has something unexpectedly gone wrong? Has it left you shaken up and not knowing what to do? If so, today’s word will encourage you and remind you that even though you may be surprised by trouble, God never is. And He will give you the victory!

Stay in the word of God. Stay on your knees, seeking the Lord. Stay focused on your spiritual growth and development, and remain full of faith. Even though you may hit rough patches here and there, you can be confident that you will turn a corner, rise up and emerge victoriously.

Are you in a place where you’re believing God to make a way, but you don’t know how He’ll do it? Do you feel a bit discouraged and distressed sometimes as you await manifestation? This word will assure you that God will not fail you. He will bless you—guaranteed!

When you are in distress and going through something hard, simply call on the name of Jesus. There is power in that name; healing in that name; deliverance in that name; breakthrough in that name; peace in that name; salvation in that name; everything you need is in that name!

Stay connected to God, stay surrendered to His will, stay prayerful, and stay open to His leading. Then you will see God create outcomes in your life that you didn’t have the money, power, knowledge, connections, or favor to achieve on your own. You will know His hand has orchestrated it!

Don’t let anything make you quit the race—no matter how ugly things get. Anticipate some setbacks and disappointments. Be aware that you won’t always be able to go as fast as you’d like to. Occasionally, your life may even feel like a wreck. But keep going, and you’ll be blessed!

Michelle Obama’s best-selling memoir, Becoming, has many nuggets of wisdom inside that we should remember, ponder and internalize.

There are some things you’re believing God to do. As you wait for your answer, consider what He has already done and how He has proven Himself faithful up to this point. Rejoice over past breakthroughs as you trust Him to bring you through this. He will shower you with His goodness again!

God is your anchor in the fiercest storm, and He’ll never leave nor forsake you. So take comfort in knowing that you are safe, cared for, and covered by God. He’s got you and He’s got this! Even in seasons of struggle, turbulence, confusion, and uncertainty, rest in Him and trust Him!

If you’re in a season of life where you aren’t in the place you want to be, don’t let that be a discouragement to you. Find a way to shift your focus from what you don’t have to what you do, and that will help you keep your mind on what matters most of all. Make Jesus the center of your joy!

If you’re in a space where things aren’t going the way you planned and you’re feeling a bit down, don’t give up. Be prayerful. Submit to God’s will for your life. He will lead you down the right path and guide you through difficult changes. If you stay the course, He’ll bless you!

It doesn’t matter how persistent the problem, how dire the situation, or how insurmountable the obstacle, the Lord is able. What seems too hard to manage, too difficult to handle, and too complicated to resolve does not challenge God. He is willing to help you, to command change and cause things to shift in an instant.

There are some seasons when God allows intense trials and challenges to strengthen your core, your conviction, and your faith. He uses trouble to get you ready for the good things He has waiting for you. So dig deep. You only have a little while left. Soon, you will come out of this stronger and better.

You’ve got to believe that God has chosen you to bless, to use, to anoint, to elevate, to heal, to increase, to favor, and to shower blessings upon. Don’t worry about your deficiency, because your sufficiency is in Christ. God chose you before the foundations of the world. Be confident!

At the appointed time, you will step into a new season. After God develops you in obscurity, matures you in adversity, and refines you in the fire of affliction, He catapults you into destiny. When you step out, you will be fully equipped to do, become, and possess all He has for you. Get ready.

Challenges, obstacles, hindrances, and issues are unavoidable. We all face them. But when you have the equipping power of the Holy Spirit on the inside, as long as you tap into your faith, you have mountain-moving power. In order to activate this power, you must believe at all costs.

Even in times when you strain to see God’s promises, hope in God. Your eyes may fail you, but your faith will not. Your natural vision may be blurry, but your spiritual vision will remain clear. If, right now, your circumstances look rough, stop focusing on what you see in the natural.

Believe that you are stepping into a new season of wholeness, deliverance and breakthrough. Believe that God has heard your fervent, faith-filled prayers. Stay in expectation, and you will see Him open heaven and pour out blessings you won’t have enough room to receive.
