Trusting God to Complete His Work in You

Have you ever felt like your progress wasn’t enough? That no matter how hard you tried, the finish line seemed impossibly far away? I’ve been there—feeling overwhelmed by my to-do list and discouraged by the gap between where I was and where I wanted to be. This is even more common if you identify as a high achiever, as we’re oftentimes the one moving the goal post before we’ve crossed the line and celebrated the success that comes with progress.

I remember one particular season of doubt when I felt like I was spinning my wheels. I had big dreams, but the path forward felt uncertain. Every small step seemed insignificant, and I often wondered if I was making any real progress. If you’re feeling this way, lean on Philippians 1:6. Let it remind you that God will see you through and lead you to the finish line according to His plan.

Let go of the need to control everything. God is the one who began the good work in us, and He is faithful to carry it through to completion. It’s not about being perfect—it’s about trusting Him to shape us along the journey. Proverbs 16:3 reassures us that when we entrust our plans to God, He will establish them in His perfect timing.

Growth often happens in ways we can’t see in the moment. It’s like planting seeds—you water them, tend to them, and trust they’ll bloom. Psalm 138:8 affirms that the Lord will fulfill His purpose for you because His steadfast love never fails.

In a world that often highlights what’s left undone, shift your focus to what you have accomplished. Write down three areas where you’ve experienced growth, no matter how small they may seem. Perhaps you’ve developed resilience, deepened your faith, or started a new habit. Thank God and trust that He is still actively working in your life.

When you take time to recognize progress and growth, you build confidence and deepen your faith in God’s presence in your life. You don’t have to figure it all out. Your role is to stay faithful and keep taking the next step. Trust that God’s timing is perfect and that He will bring His work in you to completion. Trust yourself, trust His timing, and believe that you’re being guided every step of the way.
