dont forget about the diamonds

25/12/2025

You’re allowed to feel stretched thin by the weight you carry
and still recognise how much you love the life you’re building.

Being overwhelmed doesn’t cancel gratitude,
and gratitude doesn’t erase the hard parts.
They coexist more often than we admit.

You can be tired of the pressure
and still thankful for the people you’re showing up for.
You can crave a break
and still know how lucky you are.
You can feel the heaviness of responsibility
and still feel the softness of joy underneath it.

Two truths can sit in the same heart.
They often do.

It doesn’t make you conflicted.
It makes you human. ❤️

When you react, you give control to the emotion, not the situation.

Your words move faster than your thinking.
Your actions serve the moment, not the outcome.

Reaction feels powerful, but it’s impulsive.
It seeks relief, not resolution.

The pause is where power lives.
That space between trigger and response is where strategy forms.

When you respond, you choose direction.
You protect your energy.
You decide what deserves access to you.

Not every challenge needs a reply.
Not every provocation deserves your attention.

Winning isn’t about striking back first.
It’s about moving last, with clarity.

Most battles are lost the moment you react.
Peace, power, and progress begin when you don’t.

Rumors are dangerous. They plant seeds in our minds and quietly grow into opinions we never meant to have. Before we realize it, we start disliking innocent people, not because of something they did to us, but because of something someone said about them.

Think about how many relationships, opportunities, and connections have been ruined by hearsay. A story passed from mouth to mouth, twisted a little each time, until the truth is completely lost. And yet, we accept it as fact without ever asking, without ever observing, without ever giving the person a fair chance.

Wisdom is not in listening to every voice around you. Wisdom is in pausing, questioning, and seeking understanding. Get to know people for yourself. Watch how they treat others. Pay attention to their actions, not the opinions of those who may have hidden motives, jealousy, or unresolved issues of their own. Only then can you form an opinion that is truly yours.

And here’s the uncomfortable truth: the people who are constantly talking to you about others may be the very ones you need to be cautious of. If they are quick to tear someone down in front of you, what do you think they are saying about you when you’re not around? Gossip rarely comes from a place of love or honesty, it usually comes from insecurity, bitterness, or the need to feel superior.

Protect your mind and your heart. Not every story deserves your belief, and not every voice deserves your attention. Choose discernment over drama. Choose understanding over assumption. And remember, character is revealed over time, not through rumors.✅🤝

Lord, when my body feels like a prison of pain, remind my spirit that it is free in You. In the moments when discomfort confines me, when my strength feels limited and my body refuses to cooperate, lift my eyes beyond what I feel and anchor my heart in what is true. You see every ache, every flare, every silent struggle that others may never notice. You know how heavy it is to live inside a body that hurts, how exhausting it is to wake up already tired, and how discouraging it can be to feel trapped by something I cannot simply walk away from.

When pain makes my world feel smaller, remind me that my spirit is not confined by my condition. My body may be weak, but my soul is not bound. My circumstances may limit my movement, but they cannot limit Your presence in me. When frustration rises and hopeless thoughts try to take hold, gently pull my heart back to the truth that You are greater than what I feel. Help me remember that pain does not define me, control me, or have the final word over my life.

Remind my spirit that it can still hope, still trust, still worship, even when my body is struggling. When pain clouds my thoughts and drains my energy, meet me with peace that does not depend on physical relief. Sit with me in the hard moments, in the waiting, in the long days and restless nights. When my body feels like a cage, let Your presence feel like open air to my soul—freeing, comforting, and steady.

Teach me how to carry pain without letting it harden my heart or steal my joy completely. Guard me from bitterness, despair, and isolation. Help me grieve what my body cannot do without losing sight of who I still am in You. Remind me that my worth is not measured by productivity, strength, or health, but by the fact that I am known, loved, and held by You.

When I feel disconnected from the life I once had or the life I hoped for, reconnect me to purpose. Show me that even in limitation, my life has meaning. Even in suffering, my spirit can grow deeper, stronger, and more compassionate. Help me trust that You are working in ways I cannot see, even when healing feels slow or distant.

Give me patience for this body and grace for myself on days when I feel overwhelmed. Replace fear with reassurance and loneliness with Your nearness. When I feel trapped, remind me that nothing—no pain, no diagnosis, no weakness—can separate me from You. My body may hurt, but my spirit rests in freedom. My strength may falter, but my hope remains alive in You.

Hold me when the burden feels too heavy. Carry me when I am too tired to carry myself. And remind me, again and again, that even in pain, I am not imprisoned—I am held, sustained, and free in You.

God, I come to You with a heart that has finally found the clarity of hindsight, standing in the middle of a blessing I never would have known if You hadn't had the courage to tell me "no." I look back at the moments when my eyes were filled with tears of frustration, when the silence of an unanswered prayer felt like a cold abandonment, and when the slamming of a door I desperately wanted to open echoed through the quiet halls of my spirit. In those seasons of rejection, I felt small, overlooked, and unworthy. I mistook Your protection for Your indifference, and I viewed Your "not now" as a "never." But today, I lift my voice in profound gratitude for the very doors You locked against me. I thank You for the wisdom that was greater than my desire, the vision that was broader than my narrow sight, and the love that was strong enough to hurt my feelings in order to save my life. I am realizing that some of my greatest heartbreaks were actually Your greatest mercies in disguise.

I confess that I was so focused on the destination I had chosen for myself that I was blind to the hazards of the road I was walking. I wanted things that would have ultimately limited me; I pursued connections that would have drained me; and I sought out platforms that I wasn't yet strong enough to stand upon. When the rejection came, it felt like a verdict on my value, but I see now that it was actually a redirection of my energy. You didn't stop me because I wasn't good enough; You stopped me because the path was too small for the purpose You have placed within me. Thank You for the "no" that kept me from settling for "good" when You were preparing me for "great." Thank You for the divine blockades that forced me to turn around and look in a direction I never would have considered. In that turning, I found a terrain that fits the shape of my soul, a work that honors my gifts, and a peace that I never would have found in the places I was so desperate to enter.

I am learning to trust the "unanswered" prayers as much as the ones that are granted with a "yes." I recognize that my "yes" is often rooted in my immediate comfort, while Your "no" is always rooted in my eternal growth. I thank You for the relationships that ended when I wanted them to stay, for the jobs that went to others when I thought I was the best candidate, and for the plans that crumbled just as I thought they were coming together. In the wreckage of those old plans, You provided the raw materials for a new and better architecture. I see now that if I had stayed in those "closed doors," I would have been stunted, living a life that was a shadow of the one I am leading now. You saw the ceiling that I mistook for a floor, and You rescued me from a success that would have ultimately cost me my soul. Every rejection was a "holy nudge," moving me away from the counterfeit and toward the authentic.

I pray for the grace to remember this lesson the next time I face a closed door. When the "no" comes again—as it surely will in this complicated journey—grant me the spiritual maturity to not spiral into self-doubt or resentment. Help me to take a breath and say, "I trust that there is something better." Give me the patience to sit in the hallway of the "waiting" without trying to pick the locks of the doors You have shut. I want to live with a posture of open-handedness, holding my dreams and my plans loosely enough that You can swap them for Yours at any moment. Remind me that You are the Architect of time and the Author of my story, and that You never take something away without intending to replace it with something of greater value. I am trading my "why me?" for a "thank You," recognizing that Your "no" is a sign of Your active involvement in my life, not Your absence from it.

I look at where I am today—the people I love, the peace I possess, and the purpose I am walking in—and I realize that none of this would be possible if my old prayers had been answered the way I wanted them to be. The redirection has brought me to a place of deeper alignment and truer joy. I am grateful for the "missed opportunities" that led to the "found callings." I am grateful for the "rejected proposals" that led to the "divine appointments." I am grateful for the "lost battles" that saved me from a "war" I wasn't meant to fight. My life is a beautiful mosaic of the things that didn't work out, and in the space where those things failed, Your grace has filled the gaps with something far more resilient and bright. I walk forward into this day with the confidence of one who knows that even a "no" from You is a gift of the highest order.

I place my future, my ambitions, and my current "hopes" into Your hands, giving You full permission to close any door that leads to a place where I am not meant to be. I am no longer afraid of rejection, for I know that in Your kingdom, there is no such thing—only redirection. I am no longer discouraged by the silence, for I know that You are working in the quiet to prepare my next "yes." Thank You for being a Father who is wise enough to say "no" to the things that would harm me, even when I am crying out for them. I am safe in Your sovereignty, I am secure in Your wisdom, and I am at rest in Your love. I move through the world with a lightened spirit, knowing that my steps are ordered, my path is protected, and my "redirection" is always leading me Home. Amen.

Lord! Pleeeeease don’t let me mishandle what I prayed soooo hard for. I bring this to You with humility, because I know how easy it is to beg for blessings and then struggle to steward them well once they arrive. I don’t want answered prayers to become overlooked responsibilities or sacred gifts to be treated casually. What I asked for came from deep longing, deep pain, and deep faith—and I don’t want to dishonor that.

God, You saw the nights I cried for this. The moments I felt desperate, unsure, and worn down. You heard the prayers I whispered when hope felt fragile and the ones I repeated when waiting tested my faith. You know how much this meant to me before it ever showed up in my life. So now that You’ve entrusted me with it, help me handle it with care, wisdom, and gratitude.

Don’t let me mishandle this blessing through impatience. Help me resist the urge to rush, force outcomes, or take shortcuts just because I finally have what I wanted. Teach me that timing still matters, even after the door opens. Help me move thoughtfully, not impulsively, and remember that growth takes time.

Lord, don’t let me mishandle it through fear. Sometimes blessings come with responsibility, and fear tries to convince me I’m not ready or capable. Remind me that You would not have given this to me if You hadn’t already prepared me for it. Replace insecurity with confidence rooted in You—not in perfection, but in trust.

Don’t let me mishandle this through pride. Keep me grounded. Keep me humble. Help me remember where I came from and who carried me here. I don’t want success, peace, love, or opportunity to make me forget my dependence on You. Let gratitude stay louder than ego. Let humility protect what You’ve given me.

Lord, don’t let me mishandle this through neglect. Through taking it for granted. Through assuming it will always be there without effort, care, or prayer. Teach me to nurture what You’ve placed in my hands. To be intentional. To be present. To be responsible with what once felt like a miracle.

Don’t let me mishandle it by repeating old patterns that once held me back. If You’ve given me something new, help me not bring old habits, mindsets, or fears into it. Heal me where healing is still needed so I don’t sabotage what You’ve built. Break cycles that no longer belong in this season of my life.

Lord, give me wisdom to know how to carry this blessing. Discernment to know what to protect and what to release. Patience to grow into it instead of rushing ahead of You. Surround me with guidance when I feel unsure and conviction when I start drifting.

If this blessing involves people, help me love well, communicate clearly, and act with integrity. If it involves opportunity, help me steward it responsibly. If it involves peace, help me guard it fiercely. If it involves healing, help me not rush the process or reopen old wounds.

Lord, remind me often of the version of myself who prayed for this. Let that memory keep me thankful, careful, and grounded. Let me never forget that this was once a prayer, once a hope, once something I trusted You for.

And if I ever start mishandling it, correct me gently but clearly. Redirect me without shame. Teach me without withdrawing Your presence. I want to grow, not lose what You’ve entrusted to me.

Lord, thank You for hearing my prayers. Thank You for answering them in Your timing. And now, thank You for walking with me as I learn how to steward what You gave me.

Please don’t let me mishandle what I prayed soooo hard for.
Help me honor it.
Help me protect it.
Help me grow with it.
And above all, help me keep You at the center of it.
