Week 4, Day 5

You made it. And you didn't just show up, you leaned in.


Over the past four weeks, you've wrestled with waiting, faced the ache of comparison, fought for contentment, and released control into trust.

That's not small work. That's soul-deep transformation.


You didn't hold back. You shared honestly, loved boldly, and gave others permission to do the same. That kind of vulnerability? It changes the atmosphere. And it did.


Take a moment today to look back. Not to measure how much you've changed, but to see how near God has been, how He's met you, held you, and gently reshaped what you believe about His timing.

Lean not upon my own understanding, look to God for understanding. Be patient for God to reveal to me how he intends for me to grow. To trust God’s process in my development as His child. Gladys as you stated in your prayer:

“……Keep shaping us to see You more clearly and follow You more fully, no matter how long the road feels.”

Thank you everyone

Week 4, Day 4

“The Lord is good to those who wait for Him, to the soul who seeks Him” (Lamentations 3:25).


Even here, God is good. Even now, He is working. Even when the ending is still unclear, you are not being punished; you are being held in mercy. You haven’t been forgotten. You haven’t missed it. God’s goodness is not on pause just because the answer hasn’t come.


Answer in the comments: What would change if you truly believed God wasn’t holding out on you, but holding you together?

Trust, true joy and freedom would replace fear, doubt, worry, anxiety and PTSD.

Week 4, Day 3

Waiting can feel like pressure without a promise. But what if the stretch you’re in is holy ground, where God is building the strength to hold what’s coming?


After you complete the workbook pages, come back and answer this question: What would it look like to surrender control and trust God’s timing, even when it feels like you're stretched too thin?

More peaceful days, more time to be content, laying down of burdens, calmer mind, release of tension and of holding too tight to things not necessary…

Week 4, Day 2

Hello. I'm travelling this week. I tried uploading my video, and it simply wouldn't upload. I have put what I said below.


You've walked through things you didn't think you could survive. And somehow, you're still here. That wasn't an accident. That was God.


Trust isn't always built in the moment. Sometimes it's built in the memory. At that time, God provided for you in a way that showed up at the last minute. In that, yes or no, you didn't understand until later.


You may not know what He's doing now. But you do know who He's been. And that's enough to keep walking. So when you feel shaky today, don't just look ahead. Look back. God was faithful then. He'll be faithful now.


We don't build trust in a vacuum. We create it by remembering.

God was with me all through my husbands illness and diagnosis- he sent the right support people to help us navigate things and he did eventually heal him. We have had a few new illnesses pop up and he has been healed again and again. When things were bad G I’d was always with me.
