Getting Unstuck: Turn Dry Bones Into DestinySample

Don't Believe the Lie!

The enemy would love to keep you from getting unstuck because that would mean you aren't making progress on the destiny the Lord has given you.

He may whisper in your ear that you'll always be here, that there is no way out. He might tell you you're not good enough; you don't have enough education, you're too old, you're too poor, you don't have what it takes. He might make you believe that being stuck is the only thing you're good for.

He is a liar!

Some truth: You are a child of God. You are an heir to the throne. You were created for this moment to do whatever God has called you to do.

Is This All There Is?

One of the most insidious ways we get stuck is to buy into the lie that this is all there is. That the place you are now is the best you can hope for, so why bother trying anymore?

This goes directly against the word of God that says, Never doubt God's mighty power to work in you and accomplish all this. He will achieve infinitely more than your greatest request, your most unbelievable dream, and exceed your wildest imagination! He will outdo them all, for his miraculous power constantly energizes you. (Ephesians 3:20 TPT)

This isn't all there is, in this world or the next.

God's plan for you is bigger and more amazing than ever imagined. Being stuck is just part of the journey, but it doesn't have to be all there is for you.

God's promises are for you in this time and this season, no matter how deep that rut is that you're stuck in. His plans are good, and he is always working and moving to accomplish them.

It doesn't matter how long you have been stuck, how difficult it will be to get unstuck, or how discouraged or disappointed you have become. God has the way out; he has the way forward.

He is the Way.

Action: Ask yourself what lies you have been believing. Then remind yourself of the promises in Ephesians 3:20 and Jeremiah 29:11. Read them aloud over and over if you need to until you believe what God says. Those promises are yours!

Prayer: God of the Way, I trust your plans are for me and my good, even if it doesn't feel like that right now. I may be stuck, but this isn't all there is, according to your words. I am clinging to your promises that you will help me get unstuck because your plans for me are good. Help me believe that you have more for me than this, and help me not to accept the lies of the enemy. Thank you for getting me unstuck! In Jesus' name, amen.
