Believe that God is able to open the doors you’ve been praying about, strengthen you where you’ve grown weary, and move in ways you never could have orchestrated on your own.

July is another opportunity to trust that God is still working, even before you see the breakthrough.

God,

I’ll be honest — I’ve entered a lot of new months hoping things would be different and left them feeling the same. The same prayers unanswered. The same doors closed. The same waiting without knowing what I’m waiting for. But something in my spirit feels different about July. And I’m asking you to meet me in that feeling.

I’m not demanding a breakthrough, I’m believing for one. Believing that the prayers I’ve been carrying for so long are about to break through. Believing that what’s been stuck is about to move. Believing that you haven’t forgotten what I’ve been asking for, and that July might just be the month you answer. Give me faith that doesn’t flinch when nothing changes immediately.

Give me patience to trust your timing even when the month gets hard. And give me eyes to recognize the breakthrough when it comes — even if it looks different than I expected.

I’m bringing my faith into July, God.

I’m trusting you with the rest.

Amen.
