The Value of What You’re Going Through

The Value of What You’re Going Through

“And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose.” – Romans 8:28 (NLT)

Good morning, Ekklesia Family!

Let’s be honest: if you're alive, you're either heading into a storm, coming out of one, or sitting in the middle of one right now. But take heart—there is value in what you’re going through!

Don’t let the trial trick you into thinking it’s pointless. Every crisis is carrying a lesson, a blessing, and a purpose. The school of life has no summer breaks—just test after test, until you learn what God is trying to show you. But here's the prophetic truth: the pain didn’t come to destroy you—it came to develop you.

God allows diverse experiences to ground you, shape you, and elevate you. Even when it seems like chaos, God is crafting something eternal. Remember: Joseph didn’t see the value of the pit until he made it to the palace. What if your trouble is the training ground for your testimony?

And let’s be clear: what you survive isn’t just for you. Somebody’s waiting on the other side of your obedience—needing your wisdom, your scars, your strength. You don’t need a perfect life to be powerful—you need proof that God can bring you through it.

So today, change your posture. Instead of asking, “Why me?” ask, “What’s in this for me, Lord?” Your attitude determines whether you’ll be bitter or better.

Prayer of Surrender & Encouragement:

Lord, thank You for the hidden value in every valley. Help us not to waste our warfare. Let our trials become testimonies, our pain become purpose, and our struggles become strength. We trust that everything we face is working for our good and for Your glory. In Jesus’ name, Amen!

The Value of What You Are Going Through

Invitation to Christian Discipleship:

If you’re going through and don’t know who to turn to—turn to Jesus. He’s the One who brings value out of every valley. Say yes to Him today and let Him walk you through it.
