Week 2: Grateful for God’s Constant Care
When life falls apart, it’s easy to wonder if God is still paying attention. I’ve asked that more than once. In the silence of grief, in the overwhelm of parenting alone, in the fog of exhaustion—there were moments I questioned if He had forgotten me.
But looking back, I see His care written all over my story.
God’s unexpected provision always came at just the right time. He gave me strength to keep going when I thought I had nothing left. His peace settled over me during the many moments of uncertainty. These weren’t coincidences. They were reminders that God was still with me, holding me when I couldn’t hold myself.
Sometimes His care came in ways I didn’t recognize until later—a verse that stuck with me, a song on the radio, a friend who called out of the blue. Small reminders that I was not abandoned. I was seen. Loved. Carried.
Lamentations 3:22–23 says:“Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.”
Every morning, His mercy is new. Not because we’ve earned it, but because He is faithful. Even when we’re numb. Even when we’re angry or afraid. Even when we forget to pray.
Gratitude doesn’t always start with a feeling. Sometimes it begins with remembering. When I take time to reflect on all the ways God has walked with me, even through the deepest valleys, I find myself overwhelmed by His goodness.
His care hasn’t always looked the way I wanted it to. I still have questions. I still have heartache and overwhelm. But I also have a growing list of ways He has been faithful. And that’s where gratitude grows.
Call to Action:
Take a few quiet moments this week to look back. Write down three specific ways God has cared for you, even if they seemed small at the time. Thank Him for showing up. If it’s still hard to see His hand, ask Him to open your eyes—He delights in revealing His love.
