How to Keep the Faith That Something Better Is Coming While Working Multiple Jobs

Hello, my beautiful sisters,

Let’s have a heart-to-heart.

If you’re out here grinding through multiple jobs, balancing your time and energy, I see you. You’re doing what needs to be done, but it’s exhausting, and at times, it might feel like this is all there is.

But let me remind you of this: God’s plans are always bigger and better than what we can see in the moment.

You’re not just surviving—you’re sowing seeds for the blessings to come.


Empathy: Acknowledge the Struggles

I know how hard it is to keep going when you feel stretched thin.

Maybe you’re clocking out of one job only to head into another, or you’re working odd hours just to make ends meet. The polywork lifestyle has taken over. The days blur together, and the hope for something better starts to feel distant.

But sister, your hard work is not in vain. Every ounce of effort is part of a greater plan, even if you can’t see it just yet.

Reframing the Focus: Why Faith Matters in the Grind

Faith isn’t just about waiting for the blessings—it’s about believing that God is with you in the struggle.

Here’s why holding onto your faith is crucial during this season:

  1. God Is Preparing You
    Sometimes, the struggle is a classroom. The lessons you’re learning—resilience, time management, grit—are shaping you for the doors God is about to open.
  2. Every Step Counts
    Even the jobs that feel unfulfilling are part of your journey. They’re helping you gain skills, meet people, and build the foundation for what’s next.
  3. His Timing Is Perfect
    It’s hard to wait, but remember that delays are not denials. God’s plan for you is unfolding at the perfect pace, even if it feels slow right now.

Encouragement: Trusting God’s Promises

When the weight of working multiple jobs feels too heavy, lean on God’s promises.

He is a provider, a sustainer, and a guide. In Matthew 11:28, Jesus says, “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.”

Take comfort in knowing that your work is seen and valued, both by God and by those who depend on you.

Rest in the assurance that He has a purpose for this season and that brighter days are ahead.

  • Start Your Day with Prayer: Begin each morning by asking God for strength, clarity, and peace as you tackle the day ahead.
  • Celebrate Small Wins: Acknowledge and celebrate every little victory—it’s a reminder that you’re moving forward.
  • Seek Community: Surround yourself with people who uplift and encourage you. Let them remind you of your worth and your potential.
  • Hold On to Gratitude: Write down three things you’re grateful for each day. Gratitude keeps your heart open to joy, even in the struggle.
  • Plan for the Future: Create a vision board or write down your goals. Keep your eyes fixed on where you’re headed, not just where you are.

Beautiful sisters, remember this: The work you’re putting in today is not your forever.

God sees you, and He’s preparing something extraordinary just for you. Keep the faith, because something better is not just coming—it’s already on its way.
