When You Feel Stuck

Hello, my beautiful sisters. 

Have you ever felt stuck? Maybe you’re at a crossroads, unsure of which way to turn. Perhaps you feel like no matter what you do, you’re not making progress. It’s a frustrating, disheartening place to be. 

But today, I want to remind you that God is never stuck, and He has a path for you. 

Let’s talk about how to lean on Him when you feel like you can’t move forward.

Acknowledge and Empathize

Sister, I’ve been there. 

That place where everything feels like it’s at a standstill. Maybe it’s your career, your relationships, or your dreams that feel frozen in place. You’ve tried everything you know how to do, and yet, you’re still waiting. 

That waiting can feel heavy, like a weight on your spirit. 

But let me remind you: God sees you in this moment, and even when it feels like nothing is happening, He is working behind the scenes for your good.



Explore Missteps and Misplaced Focus

When we feel stuck, it’s natural to look for solutions in our own strength. 

Maybe you’ve been pushing harder, trying to force doors open that aren’t meant for you. Or maybe you’ve been sitting in frustration, waiting for something to change without seeking God’s guidance. 

Proverbs 3:5-6 tells us, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to Him, and He will make your paths straight.” 

Feeling stuck is often an invitation to shift our focus back to Him.

Bring God into the Solution

Sister, God wants to guide your next step. 

Start by taking your concerns to Him in prayer. Ask, “Lord, what is Your will for me in this season?” Then, be still and listen. 

Open your Bible and meditate on His promises. Jeremiah 29:11 reminds us, “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”

Sometimes, God’s guidance comes in unexpected ways—through a conversation, an opportunity, or a moment of clarity. Be open to His direction, even if it leads you down an unfamiliar path. 

Trust that He is with you every step of the way.

Call to Uplifting Action

Today, I encourage you to take one small step of faith. 

Spend time in prayer and journaling, asking God to reveal the next step He has for you. Write down any impressions or scriptures that come to mind, and act on them with trust and confidence.

Sister, feeling stuck is not the end of your story. It’s an opportunity to lean into God’s wisdom and discover the incredible plans He has for you. 

Let Him guide your next step, knowing He is faithful to lead you into His purpose.
