“My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is made perfect in weakness.” — 2 Corinthians 12:9
Grit and grace—two words that don’t seem to fit together, but that’s exactly what makes them powerful.
See, we Western women are good at grit. We know how to show up when the wind bites and the day feels long. But sometimes, in all that pushing, we forget to breathe. We start carrying the weight alone instead of letting God’s grace carry us.
Grace doesn’t mean you stop working hard—it means you stop working alone. It’s not weakness; it’s wisdom. It’s the sacred permission to say, “I can’t do it all, but with God’s help, I can do what matters.”
Think about a horse out on the trail—it’s strong, yes, but it moves best when it trusts its rider. That’s us with God. Our grit gives strength to move; His grace gives direction to go the right way.
🎯 Today’s Challenge: extend grace—first to yourself. Speak kindly over your effort instead of criticizing what’s undone.
💭 Reflection: Where can I trade striving for surrender and let God’s grace fill the gaps I can’t?
Declaration:
“Lord, thank You that Your grace meets me where my strength ends. Teach me to carry grit in my hands and grace in my heart.
Enjoy Ladies!
