How is it that we can endure pain for beauty, piercings, tattoos or bodily enhancements, but we don’t want to endure the pain that God has allowed for our growth and prosperity?  We must endure the process to get the promise. You prayed for the promise and God answered with the process. The children of Israel prayed for the Promise Land and had to endure the wilderness. Just because you have misery doesn’t mean you wont have a miracle. Just because you’re burdened, doesn’t mean you are not blessed. I thought this phase was an act of the enemy, but it was God molding me. You can’t see the finished product now, but after God finished molding, you’ll see the process was worth it. The reason I pray while others complain is because I know how bent out of shape I was prior to being molded. This molding process means that God has His hands on you and is taking you to the next level. The Lord is adding His finishing touches on you.

I encourage you to know greatness and strength comes out of everything The Lord touches, because there is power and might in His hands. Look up and say “Thank you Lord for your touch”.
