More Than Enough Monday

More Than Enough Monday

When Faith Has to Be Louder Than Fear

Matthew 6:30 (NIV)
“If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you—you of little faith?”
Beautiful woman,
Let me talk to you honestly today—because faith isn’t tested when life is easy.
It’s tested when pressure shows up.
When problems stack up.
When bills are due.
When the future feels uncertain.
When you’ve prayed, waited, and still don’t see how it’s going to work out.
That’s usually when faith begins to weaken—not because we stop believing in God, but because worry starts speaking louder than trust.
Jesus knew this. That’s why He addressed it directly.

“You of Little Faith” Was Not an Insult

When Jesus said, “you of little faith,” He wasn’t condemning His listeners—He was exposing the source of their anxiety.
In Matthew 6, Jesus is talking about everyday worries:
What will we eat?
What will we drink?
What will we wear?
In other words—provision.
Jesus points to the grass, something temporary, fragile, and here today gone tomorrow, and He says if God takes that much care with creation, how much more will He take care of you?
The issue was never God’s ability.
The issue was their trust.

Where Faith Usually Breaks Down

Let’s be real—most of our worry centers around money.
Provision.
Stability.
Security.
And Jesus didn’t dance around this topic.
He said plainly that we cannot serve two masters. We cannot have our hearts divided between God and money. Not because money is sinful—but because it competes for trust.
Money promises safety.
God requires surrender.
Money says, “If you have enough, you’ll be okay.”
God says, “Trust Me, even when you don’t.”
And many of us want God’s peace while still holding tightly to control.

What Happens When We Don’t Trust Jesus

I’m not going to soften this.
When we don’t place our trust fully in Jesus:
  • Anxiety becomes normal
  • Fear starts directing decisions
  • We chase provision instead of peace
  • We work harder but feel emptier
  • We live in survival mode, not faith
Life becomes heavy because we are carrying what God never asked us to carry.
And the truth is—many women aren’t lacking money as much as they’re lacking faith-anchored trust.

Seek First the Kingdom—Not the Outcome

Jesus gave us a clear instruction:
Matthew 6:33 (NIV)
“But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.”
He didn’t say ignore your needs.
He said put them in the right order.
When God is first:
  • Provision follows alignment
  • Peace follows obedience
  • Stability follows trust
But when money becomes the focus, fear becomes the driver.

More Than Enough Is Not a Lifestyle—It’s a Person

Here’s the truth many people don’t want to face:
More money will not heal insecurity.
More possessions will not fix fear.
More control will not bring peace.
Jesus is more than enough.
When your faith is rooted in Him:
  • You don’t panic when things feel tight
  • You don’t make desperate decisions
  • You don’t measure your worth by your bank account
  • You learn to trust God even when the math doesn’t add up
More Than Enough Monday is not about pretending problems don’t exist.
It’s about choosing to trust who God is in the middle of them.

A Direct Question for You

Beautiful woman, let me ask you something real:
Where has your trust been sitting lately?
On God—or on money?
On faith—or on fear?
On provision—or on the Provider?
Because wherever your trust rests, your peace will follow.

Final Word

Jesus never promised a worry-free life.
But He did promise faithful provision.
If God clothes the grass of the field,
if He sustains creation,
if He sees every sparrow…
How much more does He care for you?
Place your faith fully in Jesus.
Not emotionally.
Not occasionally.
But completely.
Because when Jesus is your source,
He is more than enough.

From Chains to Change — How God Redeemed My Life

Hey, Resilient Woman — Your Healing Starts Here

My name is Dashonia Marie, and I am living proof that God can take a shattered life and turn it into a story of strength, purpose, and redemption. I’ve walked through the fire — addiction, trauma, loss, and pain that tried to silence my purpose — but God’s grace met me in the ashes and taught me how to rise.

I know what it feels like to be broken, to question your worth, and to wonder if freedom is even possible. But I also know what it means to encounter the healing power of God — the kind that restores what was stolen, rewrites your identity, and breathes new life into weary hearts.

Through Encouraging Her Resilience, I’ve made it my mission to walk beside women like you — women who are ready to break cycles, renew their minds, and rediscover the woman God created them to be. This is not about perfection; it’s about progress. It’s about learning that your past does not define you — God’s promise does.

As a Certified Addiction Counselor and Faith-Based Recovery Coach, I don’t just offer sessions; I offer safe spaces — places where healing is nurtured, faith is strengthened, and transformation begins from the inside out.

I believe every woman has a comeback story waiting to be written — and I’m here to help you write yours. Because if God could redeem my life, He can surely restore yours. 

Healing is possible. Hope is real. Freedom is yours — and it starts with saying yes.

With love and grace,

Dashonia Marie

Founder, Encouraging Her Resilience
