Devotional Title: Still Standing — Even in the Middle of It All - October 31, 2025

Scripture:

“But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness…..” - ‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭12‬:‭9‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Devotional:

There are some days that leave you deeply drained and confused. The kind of day that leaves you staring into space, asking God, “Why now?” When mistakes carry weight, when unexpected news shakes your peace, and when faith feels like it’s being tested from every side.The kind of day where one thing goes wrong and then another, until it feels like the weight might break you.

You prayed hard. You declared, decreed, held on to faith and then all of the wrong things followed. You sit there in silence, overwhelmed, wondering how your declared victory praise could be followed by all this.

But then the Holy Spirit whispers something gentle:

“You’re still standing. And that’s Grace.”

Even in moments like that, God’s Grace still stands firm. His hand doesn’t waver when ours does. His mercy doesn’t retreat when we fall short. Grace isn’t just about erasing the storm, it’s about being kept through it. Keep praising God.

Even when it looks like loss, God’s hand is still holding you. His Grace doesn’t prevent the storm, it keeps you through it. His mercy doesn’t erase the consequence, it reminds you that He’s not done with you yet.

There will be times when guilt, exhaustion, or disappointment try to convince you that you’ve failed beyond repair. But God says otherwise. He says, “My Grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” (2 Corinthians 12:9).

This is where faith becomes real, not in the calm, but in the chaos. Not when everything makes sense, but when all you can do is trust. Sometimes, Grace doesn’t come in the form of immediate deliverance. It comes in quiet strength that helps you keep standing when everything else is shaking.

Maybe this is your “in the midst of it all” moment, the very place where God is perfecting His power in your weakness. The very place where faith is being activated in real time, not just spoken but lived out through tears, humility, and surrender.

God never promised that walking with Him would mean smooth sailing. But He did promise that His Grace would be enough. And in this moment, enough is all you need.

Challenge/Reflection:

Trust that God’s Grace is enough. You don’t have to fix everything or understand it all, just rest in the truth that His Grace is already working for you. Let today be the day you stop striving and start standing in His strength.

Prayer:
Father God, in the Name of Jesus,
Thank You for another day. Thank You for waking me up this morning, starting me on my way, clothing me in my right mind, and allowing me to see the dawn of a brand new day.

Lord, I ask You to forgive me for all my sins and shortcomings, and I receive Your forgiveness in my heart. Create in me, O Lord, a clean heart. Purify my thoughts, and cast down every vain imagination and every high thing that tries to exalt itself against the knowledge of You, O God.

Lord, thank You for grace that meets me even when I’ve fallen short. Thank You for mercy that covers my mistakes and power that strengthens me when I’m weak. Help me to trust You in the middle of the mess. I may not understand it all, but I know You’re still in control. Keep me standing, Lord. Keep me believing. Keep me covered, in the midst of it all. In Jesus Name I Pray, Thank God, Amen.

Declaration:

Faith, rise up in me. I believe again. I trust again. I’m walking by faith and not by sight, and I will see the goodness of the Lord while I am yet in the land of the living.
