Honoring the Journey, Celebrating the Growth
30 Day Empowerment Statements - Day 1
Scripture:
“But he said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.’”
— 2 Corinthians 12:9 (NIV)
Empowerment Statement:
I honor where I’ve been, celebrate how far I’ve come, and embrace the grace that carries me forward.
Key words:
Honor - high respect; great esteem
Journey - a long and difficult process of personal change and development
Grace - The free and unmeritorious favor of God, as manifested in the salvation of sinners and the bestowment of blessings
Reflection:
As I find myself again in this season, I’m learning to fully honor the path God has placed me on. This journey, while imperfect, has been rich with growth, healing, and divine lessons. I’m committed to doing the work, staying focused, and eliminating distractions that once caused me to veer off course.
There is undeniable evidence of healing within me. The patterns I once tolerated no longer hold space in my life. And when I do drift, I can recognize it and realign myself with God's direction—that’s growth worth celebrating.
It's easy to long for affirmation from others, but something is compelling about cheering for yourself. There’s joy in becoming your own encourager, clapping for yourself in the quiet moments, and knowing God is always in the crowd, cheering the loudest.
His grace meets me right where I am, every step of the way. And if I keep trusting Him, He will keep ordering my steps. I pray the same for you—that as you walk out your journey, you’ll experience the grace to endure, grow, and finish well.
Empowerment Prayer:
Lord, thank You for the grace that strengthens me on this journey. Help me to honor my path, celebrate every step forward, and remain aligned with you. May I never forget that Your grace is sufficient and Your love constant. Amen.
