Chapter 48 keep going …dear diary

I Almost Gave Up, But God Sent Me a Sign

I was ready to walk away.

From the prayers.

From the waiting.

From the belief that things would ever change. I told myself, maybe I misunderstood the vision. Maybe this wasn’t meant for me.

But just when I was about to let go, God sent a sign.

It wasn’t loud. It wasn’t dramatic. It was a whisper, a nudge, a moment that made me stop and realize… He was still with me.

Maybe it was the unexpected encouragement from a friend. A verse that popped up exactly when I needed it. A bird landing right in front of me, staring like it had a message to deliver. A number that kept appearing, reminding me of promises I once held close.

I asked, God, are You still here?

And He answered… over and over again.

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but don’t give up right before your breakthrough.

The delay is not denial.

The waiting is not wasted.

And the signs? They’re reminders that God is still working.

Believe It To See It

Prayer for Strength When You Want to Give Up

Heavenly Father,

I come before You weary, burdened, and feeling like I have nothing left to give. I have fought, I have prayed, I have believed but doubt is creeping in, and I feel the weight of discouragement pressing on my soul.

Yet, even in my weakness, I know You are strong. Even when I cannot see the way forward, You are still guiding my steps. Lord, remind me that You have not brought me this far to leave me. Renew my faith, restore my strength, and open my eyes to the signs You are sending me.

I repent for the moments I have doubted Your plan. I release the fear, the frustration, and the need to control. I choose to trust You, even when I don’t understand. I choose to believe that my breakthrough is closer than it appears.

Father, speak to my heart. Show me that You are near. Send me a sign that aligns with Your will, a reminder that I am on the right path. Let me walk forward in faith, knowing that what You have promised will come to pass in Your perfect timing.

I seal this prayer in the name of Jesus, believing that all things are working for my good.

Amen.
