🌻Joy in One Hand, Faith in the Other🌻

🌻There is something about waiting seasons that changes you. Sometimes God answers the prayer. Sometimes He changes the heart that prayed it first.

🌻Lately I’ve been thinking about how easy it is to hold joy in one hand and fear in the other. To be deeply thankful and still wonder. To trust and still have moments where worry knocks at the door.

🌻But y’all, faith is not the absence of fear. Faith is handing it back to Him again and again.💛

🌻Short Prayer:

Lord, thank You for every blessing, seen and unseen. When fear tries to steal joy, help me remember You are already there. Teach me to trust You with what I love most and rest in Your timing. Amen.

🌻Reflection:

• What fear have I been carrying that I need to place back in God’s hands?

• Where have I seen His faithfulness in my waiting season?

• What blessing can I thank Him for today?
