“Don’t Grow Weary in Doing Good”
“So let’s not get tired of doing what is good. At just the right time we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don’t give up.”
— Galatians 6:9 (NLT)
Good morning, my resilient sisters!
Today’s message is a sacred reminder straight from the heart of God: Don’t grow weary in doing good. I know firsthand how exhausting this journey can be. Recovery, healing, transformation—it’s not easy. Some days you feel like you’re making progress, and other days it feels like you’re stuck in the same cycle. The temptation to give up, to fall back, to say “what’s the point?” is real.
But the Word of God in Galatians 6:9 is a divine encouragement to stay the course. It tells us that if we keep going—if we keep doing good, even when no one notices, even when we feel drained, even when we want to walk away—there is a harvest coming.
That harvest may not show up overnight. But sister, it is coming. Your labor is not in vain. The time you’ve spent working on your sobriety, choosing forgiveness, pushing through the trauma, waking up and showing up when your heart felt heavy—it all matters. Heaven sees you. God honors you.
Let’s be real:
In recovery, it’s easy to grow weary. Many of us come from seasons where life knocked us down again and again. Addiction, trauma, heartbreak, betrayal—it all left scars. But now that we’re walking with Christ, we’re building something new: a clean heart, a renewed mind, a healed soul. That takes effort. It takes consistency. And it takes a whole lot of faith.
You may be tired, but you’re not defeated. You may be in a waiting season, but you are not forgotten. Don’t let the enemy lie to you and make you believe that your obedience isn’t working. Every day you say yes to God and no to your old ways, you’re planting seeds of healing, peace, purpose, and joy.
Let me remind you of this truth:
You’re not doing good for applause. You’re doing it because you are a daughter of the King. You’re doing it because the woman you are becoming is stronger than the one you used to be.
How can we keep from growing weary?
- Stay connected to your source – Daily prayer, worship, and Scripture aren’t just “to-do’s.” They are your fuel. When your spirit feels dry, go back to the well that never runs dry—Jesus.
- Rest without quitting – Rest is holy. Even Jesus stepped away to rest and recharge. Don’t confuse rest with quitting. You can take a break and still keep moving forward.
- Encourage yourself in the Lord – Speak life over yourself. Remember who you are. You are chosen. You are healed. You are called. You are capable.
- Lean on your sisters – This journey is not meant to be walked alone. That’s why Encouraging Her Resilience exists—to walk with you, cry with you, celebrate with you, and remind you that you are not alone.
Your spiritual and recovery harvest is coming. Don’t miss it by giving up too soon.
Let today be your reminder to lift your head, square your shoulders, and press forward with grace. Even if you’ve stumbled. Even if you’ve cried all night. Even if you feel weak right now. Strength is being made perfect in your weakness (2 Corinthians 12:9).
Declaration:
I will not grow weary. I am rooted in Christ. I am empowered by grace. I will see the fruit of my obedience. I will finish this race strong.
Affirmation for Today:
I am faithful, I am focused, and I am fruitful in Jesus’ name.
You’ve come too far to quit now, beautiful sister. Keep going. Keep showing up. Keep doing the good God called you to do. Your harvest is on the way.
With love and strength,
Dashonia Marie
