This week, our word is: PROCESS.
Every Wednesday, we choose a Word of the Week because we don’t want empowerment to be something we hear for a few minutes and then forget.
We want to take the Word with us.
We want it to become something we think about when we’re making decisions, choosing our responses, facing challenges, or simply trying to figure out our next step.
"PROCESS"
We all want the promise.
We want the answered prayer. We want the breakthrough. We want the dream. We want the next level.
But sometimes we become so focused on where we’re going that we forget to appreciate what is happening while we’re getting there.
The process can be long. The process can be uncomfortable. The process can include delays, setbacks, disappointments, struggles, and moments when you question whether you’re even making progress.
But the process is also where you are being made, developed, and strengthened.
The process is preparing you for what you prayed for.
There are lessons you can only learn through experience. There is strength you can only develop by being tested. There is wisdom you gain by having to make difficult decisions. And there is confidence that comes from discovering, “I made it through that, too.”
So when something doesn’t happen as quickly as you expected this week, remember your Word: PROCESS.
When you experience a setback, remember: PROCESS.
When you have to make a difficult decision, ask yourself:
“What is this process developing in me?”
Don’t allow a difficult season to convince you that nothing is happening.
You may not be where you want to be yet, but you are becoming who you need to be.
Stay the course.
Because the process isn’t just taking you to the promise it’s preparing you to carry it.
WHY WE DO WEDNESDAY’S WORD
Wednesday’s Word is our opportunity to pause, reset, and refocus in the middle of the week.
It’s a Word to carry—not just a Word to hear.
Take it into your conversations. Take it into your decisions. Take it into your challenges. Take it into your prayers. Take it into your everyday life.
Because when you intentionally keep the Word in front of you, it can change the way you think, respond, choose, and move.
This week, when life gets uncomfortable, don’t immediately ask, “Why is this happening to me?”
Ask:
“What is this process teaching me, developing in me, and preparing me for?”
SCRIPTURE
“And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.” — Galatians 6:9
Don’t give up in the middle of your process.
Your job is to keep growing, keep learning, keep trusting, and stay the course.
PRAYER:
Father, thank You for every part of my process. Help me not to become frustrated by what I don’t understand or discouraged by what hasn’t happened yet. Give me patience in the waiting, strength in the difficult moments, wisdom in my decisions, and faith to keep moving forward. Help me recognize what You are developing in me while You are preparing me for what is ahead. I choose to trust the process and stay the course. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
🌸 THIS WEEK’S REMINDER:
THE PROCESS ISN’T JUST GETTING YOU TO THE PROMISE IT’S MAKING YOU READY FOR IT.
