Keep Going, Even If You Feel Like a Hot Mess

It happens

Let’s be real: sometimes, life feels like you’re juggling flaming swords while riding a unicycle—on a Monday. You wake up late, spill coffee on your shirt, and your "to-do" list is starting to look like a novel. But guess what? You are not alone. Psalm 46:1 says, “God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.” So, even when you’re running on fumes (and maybe a prayer and three cups of coffee), God’s got you. He’s not surprised by your chaos; in fact, He’s the calm in your chaos.

Remember, God didn’t call us to have it all together. If He did, the Bible wouldn’t be filled with stories of perfectly imperfect people. Just look at 2 Corinthians 12:9: “But He said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.’” That’s right—your messy, unfiltered life is exactly where God loves to show off His strength. So today, take a deep breath, laugh at the craziness, and remind yourself that you’re a work in progress—and God’s not done yet! BE ENCOURAGED!
