Staying Connected To The Source- April 30, 2025

Scripture:
”But those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength;
They shall mount up with wings like eagles,
They shall run and not be weary,
They shall walk and not faint.”
—Isaiah 40:31 (NKJV)

Devotional:
Let me testify.

There was a time not long ago when everything felt too heavy.
When the weight of what I was going through didn’t just touch my circumstances — it crushed me.
There were days I couldn’t move.
Days I couldn’t pray like I used to.
Days when all I could do was whisper, “Lord, I’m still here.”
But that whisper was enough — because I was still connected.

Through heartbreak, confusion, lack, pressure, and what felt like delay after delay — God never let me go.
He didn’t make it easy.
But He made it possible.

He molded me.
He allowed the shaking to shape me.
He stripped what couldn’t go with me into this next season.
He refined my faith until it was no longer faith after heartbreak — but faith that led me straight into victory.

And yesterday?
Something broke.
Something shifted.
I didn’t just believe in the breakthrough — I felt it.
I didn’t just read a word — I received it.

I know I’ve crossed over.
Not because I finally had the right words, or enough money, or clarity in every step.
But because I stayed connected — to the Source, to the Father, to the One who has carried me this far.

I wouldn’t be here if I stayed the old version of myself.
But God didn’t just keep me — He changed me.
He made me into the woman who could carry the victory.

Reflection/Challenge:
Don’t disconnect in the pain.
Don’t walk away when it gets hard.
Don’t let weariness make you unplug from the very God who’s building your testimony.
If you stay with Him — even through the heartbreak, the silence, the not-knowing —
He will carry you to a moment where you’ll say:
“This is it. I’m living in what I prayed for.”

Prayer:
Father,
Thank You for never letting go of me — even when I didn’t feel strong enough to hold on.
Thank You for staying close when life shook me to the core.
I see now that everything I went through wasn’t designed to break me — it was molding me into the person You called me to be.
You didn’t put more on me than I could bear — because I’m still here.
I feel the shift.
I see the new season.
And I walk into it grateful, humbled, and fully connected to You.
Let my testimony help someone else stay in the fight.
Let it be proof that You still move, still restore, and still reward those who refuse to faint.

In Jesus’ name,
Amen.
