The Power of Going Through…

If you’re reading this, chances are you’ve been through something.
Maybe it was a loss, a setback, a season that tested your faith or your strength. And if you’re honest, it probably didn’t feel like “power” while you were in it. But here’s the truth I’ve learned: there is power in the process of going through.

For years, I thought success meant getting past the hard things quickly. I used to pray, “Lord, just get me out of this.” But over time, I began to realize that He wasn’t trying to rush me through—He was trying to grow me in it. Every storm, every closed door, every detour was refining something inside of me that comfort could never teach.

It’s in the going through that you discover who you really are.
You learn how to trust God deeper. You learn to stand even when your knees are shaking. You learn that the oil of purpose is pressed in private long before it ever shines in public.

So, if you’re in a season that feels heavy right now, don’t lose heart.
You’re not stuck—you’re being strengthened. You’re not delayed—you’re being developed. You’re not forgotten—you’re being formed for something greater.

“How you go through determines how you come out.”™

Your “through” is not your ending. It’s the preparation ground for your next beginning.

Let’s Take a Selah Moment
Take a deep breath and reflect:

• What has this season been teaching you?

• How is God using it to build something new inside of you?

Now Our Faith Declaration:
I am being strengthened through this season.
Every challenge is shaping me for greater.
I will come out of this refined, renewed, and ready.

You are Purposed. You are Prepared. You are Predestined. You are Positioned.™

With Purpose,
