When You Feel Behind

Everyone else seems to be sprinting while you’re still tying your shoes.

It’s easy to believe you missed your moment—that somehow life started without you and never circled back.

But God doesn’t run on your timeline. He isn’t pacing the floor, checking His watch, wondering why you haven’t “arrived.”

He sees preparation where you see delay. He sees roots going down where you see nothing breaking through.

And roots matter. Deep ones hold when shallow things fall apart.

Pray today:Lord, when I feel behind, remind me that You are not rushed. Help me trust what You’re growing in me, even when I can’t see it yet. Steady my heart in Your timing, and keep me faithful in the waiting. Amen.
