Still Here

2 Corinthians 4:8-9 (NLT)

“We are pressed on every side by troubles, but we are not crushed. We are perplexed, but not driven to despair. We are hunted down, but never abandoned by God. We get knocked down, but we are not destroyed.”

You may have been through the storm, the fire, and the flood—

But you’re still here.

The enemy tried it, but he couldn’t have you.

Why? Because God preserved you with purpose.

You are not just surviving—you’re being shaped, refined, and fortified.

Yes, life pressed you.

Yes, the pressure was real.

But God never left your side.

When others saw ashes—God saw oil.

When the world saw brokenness—He saw a testimony.

You are walking proof that grace still works, mercy still speaks, and power still breaks chains.

You’re still standing—not by might, nor by power, but by His Spirit.

You didn’t get here on your own. The same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead is alive in you.

Say it out loud:

“I’m still standing. I’m still praising. I’m still chosen. I’m still anointed. I still believe.”

Lord, thank You for keeping me when I thought I was done. Thank You for the power of resurrection living in me. I surrender the pain, but I keep the praise. Anoint me to walk in boldness, to love without limits, and to serve with fire. I’m still standing—because You stood for me. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
