Are you giving up?

77.13 AMED

Home | A Miracle Every Day | Miracles | Are you giving up?

I had just told the congregation about the worst experience of my life—my rape—and as you can imagine, it was a very moving moment. I’ve come to understand that I am not what happened to me. I get to be free of the past and know that I am worth something!

As soon as I told my story, I wanted to move straight into my song, “You’re Worth It,” and emphasize the message with it, but after the first chorus, the technology broke down and the playback stopped.

It was the decision of a millisecond: do I give up here, or do I continue? I kept singing, even without the playback. Even if nothing goes as planned, I can still carry on in faith and share the message.

Yes, at the moment, it felt like a problem, and yes, it required more strength from me. But maybe that’s what it took to show people how real the message really is! I could have given up and said, “What kind of technology do you have here?”, but then no one would’ve been moved by this special moment.

My heart asked God, “What are You trying to do right now?” As I continued to sing, I prayed inwardly, “Now I need You and Your work all the more. God, it’s Your turn now!” And He brought the message through. No one addressed the problem at the end because everyone saw that God had another plan.

“In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried out to my God; He heard my voice from His temple, and my cry came before Him, even to His ears.” (Psalm 18:6, NKJV)  

I want to encourage you today to keep going, even if it seems like the “technology” of your life isn’t working right now.

You, too, can pray, “God, now I need You and Your work all the more. It’s Your turn now!” And you will see what God can do!

You are a miracle!

    Before I opened up this email to read the message I was praying to God about my next steps in my business. What should I do? I have the potential to expand and financially I need to expand. But my team has this work ethic issue and I have exhausted myself trying to change that. My husbands says he will support me if I close or stay open. I don’t feel Jesus telling me to close.
    Then I open your message titled “Are you giving up”
    No, I am not giving up.

    Thank you Lord ???? For a few days I found myself thinking God! have you given up on me? From 2015 I’ve been struggling with health issues every year it’s a different diagnosis. Yes I’m praying and I’ve seen Miracles Hallelujah ???? but some how for some reason I allowed this thought to linger in my mind. So of course I prayed and God said to me HAVE YOU FORGOTTEN THE MANY TIMES I’VE COME THROUGH FOR YOU? then I remembered Paul asked God to remove a thorn from his flesh he didn’t He said My Grace is sufficient for you. I had to repent then and there and cried Lord forgive me! Thank you Deborah for your words of encouragement today.Thank you Lord ????
