Midweek Faith Check:
Life moves fast. We wake up, rush through our to-do lists, handle responsibilities, and before we know it, another week is halfway gone. In the middle of it all—whether it’s been a peaceful, chaotic, or just plain ordinary week—have you taken a moment to pause and reflect on God’s blessings?
This is your midweek faith check.
Take a deep breath.
Right now, in this moment, what’s one thing you’re grateful for this week?
The Power of Pausing to See God’s Hand
So often, we pray for things, wait on God, and then when He answers—when He provides, protects, or simply holds us steady—we forget to pause and say, Thank You. Not because we’re ungrateful, but because life just keeps moving.
But when we stop, even for just a moment, to recognize His goodness, something beautiful happens: our hearts shift from what’s next to what He’s already done.
1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 reminds us:
“Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.”
Even in the middle of the week, even when things feel routine or overwhelming, there is always something to thank Him for.
Gratitude in Every Season
Maybe you’ve had an amazing week so far. Maybe everything seems to be falling into place, and your heart is full. Praise God for that! He is the giver of every good and perfect gift (James 1:17).
Or maybe… this week has been hard. Maybe you’re waiting on prayers that feel unanswered. Maybe your heart is heavy with worry, stress, or disappointment. Even in the struggle, gratitude is a powerful act of faith. It shifts our focus from what we lack to the One who never lacks.
Paul wrote in Philippians 4:6-7:
“Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”
Gratitude doesn’t mean ignoring our struggles. It means trusting that God is still good in them.
So, What Are You Grateful for This Week?
It doesn’t have to be big. It can be as simple as a warm cup of coffee, a conversation that lifted your spirit, the fact that you got through a tough moment, or the breath in your lungs today.
I’d love to hear from you. Drop a comment below and share: What’s one thing you’re grateful for this week?
Let’s build each other up in faith and remind our hearts that no matter where we are this week, God is with us—and that alone is reason to be grateful. 💛
