Don’t Get Weary By Doing Good
Written by: Dashonia Marie | Encouraging Her Resilience
“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)
This week…I was tired.
Not physically, but spiritually. Emotionally. Mentally.
I showed up. I poured out. I encouraged. I prayed. I smiled. I ministered.
But behind closed doors, I was weary.
Not weary of God — but weary in purpose.
Weary from helping others heal while I still had my own wounds.
Weary from holding others up while silently feeling like I was falling apart.
Weary from doing what’s right and still feeling like the results weren’t coming fast enough.
And in the middle of my weariness, God whispered something powerful into my spirit:
“Don’t get weary when doing good.”
I knew that voice. I knew that Word. It hit my soul like fire and flooded my eyes with tears.
Galatians 6:9 is more than a sweet verse to quote — it’s a lifeline to those of us on the battlefield of purpose.
It’s a message to the tired mother still praying for her child.
To the counselor helping others while silently asking God, “What about me?”
To the woman trying to rebuild her life from the ruins of addiction, trauma, or heartbreak — and still showing up with love and faith.
Here’s what God wants us to understand, sis:
Doing good will cost you.
It will cost you time, energy, tears, and sometimes your peace.
But it is not in vain.
Spiritually, this scripture is a reminder of two things:
1. The seed you’re sowing is working — even if you can’t see it yet.
2. There is a due season for your harvest, and it will not be delayed.
But here’s the challenge:
The enemy attacks you hardest when you’re closest to the breakthrough.
He wants to make you give up in the middle — to stop the flow of good works because he knows your obedience is shaking hell.
Your love is restoring lives.
Your honesty is healing hearts.
Your purpose is shaking chains loose.
And that’s exactly why you feel so tired.
But sis, DON’T QUIT.
Don’t let your weariness outweigh your faith.
Don’t let the discouragement make you forget why you started.
You are walking in purpose. You are a vessel. You are chosen.
Even when you feel weak — God’s strength is made perfect in you.
Even when you feel unseen — Heaven sees you.
Even when your heart is breaking — you are still being used by God to heal others.
That is a divine assignment. And it’s not easy.
But the reward…oh, sis — the reward is coming. Don’t give up before the harvest.
So today, I write this not just for you — but for us.
For every woman who is serving others while silently hurting.
For every woman who is holding on by faith.
For every woman who needed this reminder just like I did:
You are doing good. You are making impact. You are building legacy.
Don’t get weary — the harvest is coming.
With love and resilience,
