Your journey is uniquely yours, and sometimes it requires more time than others might expect.

When faced with jet lag recently, a friend's dismissive "Stop making a fuss" comment highlighted an important truth: we all process changes and challenges differently. While some may bounce back quickly, others need more time to adjust – and that's perfectly okay.

Consider Jonah's story. When God directed him to Nineveh, instead of immediately obeying, he fled in the opposite direction (Jonah 1:3 NLT). Yet God didn't abandon him. Instead, He patiently worked with Jonah until His plan was fulfilled. This teaches us a valuable lesson: divine patience exceeds human expectations.

If you're feeling pressured to move faster or perform better, remember:

• Your pace is your own
• Where human patience ends, God's grace begins
• Taking small steps forward is better than standing still
• Prayer connects you to the strength you need

Today, focus on taking one step forward. It doesn't need to meet others' expectations – it just needs to move you closer to God. Through prayer, you'll find the resources and strength you lack.

Remember, you are unique, valuable, and truly a miracle in progress.
