“Morning Prayer: Trust God in Every Season of Your Life!”
Listen to me closely tonight. Your battles are real. I will not deny that. The pain is real. The pressure is real. The tears are real. The sleepless nights are real. But hear this with clarity in your spirit. Your blessings are greater than your battles. Your struggle may be loud, but God’s purpose over your life is loud.
Some of you walked into this moment carrying invisible weights, financial burdens that keep you awake at night, delays that make you question if God truly remembers you, family struggles that drain your strength, and a mental fatigue that makes even simple faith feel heavy. Yet, in the midst of all that, God is speaking one unchanging truth over your life. What you focus on multiplies.
If you focus on the storm, fear grows. If you focus on the mountain, exhaustion grows. But if you focus on God, faith rises. If you focus on his promises, strength is restored. If you focus on his word, hope begins to breathe again. The Bible declares in Proverbs 23:7, “As a man thinks in his heart, so is he.
” That means your life will always move in the direction of your dominant thoughts. You don’t rise to the level of your prayers, you rise to the level of your focus. If your mind is locked on lack, your heart will feel poor, even in abundance. If your mind is trapped in yesterday’s failure, your spirit will struggle to step into tomorrow’s victory.
Some of you are not defeated by the devil. You are exhausted by your own focus. You wake up rehearsing problems. You go through the day magnifying pressure and you sleep battling tomorrow before it even arrives. And then we wonder why joy feels distant, why peace feels fragile, why faith feels like a struggle. It is not because God has changed.
It is because focus has shifted. The Apostle Paul understood this mystery when he wrote in Romans chapter 8 verse 18 that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory that shall be revealed in us. Notice what he did not say. He did not deny the suffering. He did not pretend the pressure was imaginary.
He acknowledged it, but he refused to magnify it above the glory. He chose perspective over pain. He chose vision over victimhood. He chose promise over pressure. And that same choice is standing before you right now. You can keep staring at what is wrong or you can begin to align your sight with what God has already spoken concerning your life.
I know some of you feel tired in your spirit. You have prayed and it looks like nothing has moved. You have believed and the door still seems closed. You have given and the harvest seems delayed. And quietly, without meaning to, your focus shifted from God’s ability to your limitations. Your expectations shrank to the size of your circumstances.
