A Letter to Sons and Daughters Pressed by Time and Burden
To sons and daughters,
You are not alone. I see the pressure on your shoulders, the weight you carry quietly, the mental math you do each day to try and make ends meet with not enough time, not enough resources, and what often feels like not enough strength. You try to steward what you have, but the pace of the world and the weight of the call seem to be outrunning your capacity. You love God deeply, and you want to do right by Him, but sometimes it feels like there is just too much and you are running out. Out of energy, out of solutions, out of time.
But I want to remind you today that the call was not placed on your life based on your efficiency. The assignment was not given to you because you had all the answers or all the provision. It was given to you because the Father knew that He could trust you to walk it out with Him. He knew you would come back to the secret place. He knew you would not quit even when it looked foolish to keep going.
What God told you in the place of peace does not change just because chaos starts screaming. The Word of the Lord does not flinch. He is not adjusting the assignment because of your lack. In fact, your lack is the very place where He gets to show off His sufficiency.
You were never meant to do this on your own.
God is not surprised that you are in this moment. He is not caught off guard by your limited hours or your stretched bank account. He knew what the middle would look like when He gave you the promise. And yet He still said go. Still said do it. Still said yes over your life. Because He is not looking for you to be enough. He is looking for you to believe that He is.
Remember what Paul said in Philippians 4. He was in prison. Not on a mountaintop. Not at a revival service. In a cell. And he wrote, “My God shall supply all your needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.”
All your needs. Not just money. Not just resources. All of it. Emotional needs. Mental endurance. Strength for today. Grace for your kids. Wisdom for your job. Provision for the vision. He will supply. And if He has not yet, then the moment of supply is still coming. But He will not forget.
You are not working for God. You are working with Him.
There is something holy in the tension. When you are caught between what He said and what you see, you are actually in a place of invitation. The Israelites stood between Egypt and the Red Sea and forgot who had delivered them just days earlier. But Moses told them in Exodus 14:13, “Stand still and see the salvation of the Lord.”
Stillness is warfare when everything around you is screaming move.
I want you to stop and ask yourself, what did He say? Go back to the moment He spoke. Go back to the whisper in the secret place. Go back to the encounter, the confirmation, the Word you wrote in your journal, the dream that stirred your soul. That was Him. And He does not change His mind just because the numbers do not add up.
The promise has not expired. The call has not shifted. The plan has not been altered. What you are walking through right now is not the end. It is a test of endurance. It is the fire that proves the gold.
The Word of the Lord does not need ideal conditions to come to pass.
Noah built a boat when there was no rain.
Abraham believed for a son with a barren wife.
David walked into battle with a sling and a few stones.
Gideon won a war with a fraction of the army.
Mary carried the Messiah with no husband and no status.
What did they have? A Word. That was enough.
Stop looking at the chaos and thinking that means you missed it. Stop assuming you are behind just because you feel overwhelmed. If He told you to do it, then you are not behind, you are right where the stretching happens. Right where the oil flows. Right where the Spirit proves to be not just your comforter, but your strength, your provider, your clarity, and your reward.
The call of God on your life is not held hostage by a clock.
It is governed by faith.
Hebrews 10:35-36 says, “So do not throw away your confidence. It will be richly rewarded. You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what He has promised.”
You need to persevere. You need to stay in the seat. You need to keep showing up. Because reward is not for the strong. It is for the obedient.
You are not crazy. You are not lazy. You are not failing. You are in the middle of something holy. Something eternal. Something that will have ripple effects far beyond what you can see right now. The enemy is terrified that you might actually keep going. That you might keep believing. That you might stand in the middle of the storm and lift your hands and say, “Even now, I trust You.”
Let me tell you something. Your tears are not in vain. Your efforts are not wasted. Your waiting is not empty.
God sees it all.
You have not been forgotten. You are not being punished. You are being built.
So take a deep breath. Lift your head. Remember who you are.
You are a son. You are a daughter. You are an heir of the Kingdom. You carry the Spirit of the Living God. And you are not out of anything that matters.
You are not out of time. He is redeeming it.
You are not out of energy. He is renewing your strength.
You are not out of provision. He is multiplying what is in your hands.
You are not out of options. You are in the grip of His sovereign hand.
Isaiah 40:31 says, “But those who wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength. They will mount up with wings as eagles. They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not faint.”
You may feel weary, but you will not faint. You may feel pressed, but you will not be crushed. You may feel like you are at the end of your rope, but you are held by a Father who cannot fail.
I know it is hard. I know it feels unfair. I know the pressure is real. But so is the promise.
You were made for this hour. You were chosen for this stretch. You are anointed for this exact assignment.
Do not trade in the eternal for the temporary. Do not let fatigue steal your vision. Do not let the fog of today make you forget the fire that started this journey.
He is still enough.
So here is what I am telling you:
Do not quit.
Do not throw in the towel just because you are tired. Rest if you need to, but do not walk away. The harvest is coming. The reaping is closer than it seems.
God is not watching to see if you will succeed. He is walking with you so that you finish with Him.
I love you. I am with you. I am praying for your eyes to be cleared and your heart to be strengthened. And I will not let you forget what He said.
He is enough. He was always enough. And He will prove it again.
You are going to make it. And when you do, it will not be because you were strong enough. It will be because you trusted that He was.
Stand your ground. You are not running out. You are about to overflow.
If you feel led to partner with what God is doing through this ministry, we invite you to sow into this work as the Spirit leads. Your generosity helps us continue to share His love and truth with others. There is no obligation, only an opportunity to join in what God is building. Thank you for considering being a part of this journey.
