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 speak to you in truth today — not polished faith, not social-media faith, but
 real faith.
Faith isn’t tested when things are calm.
Faith is tested when life starts pressing in on you.
When the bills don’t line up.
When the bank account looks disrespectful.
When the doctor’s report makes your chest tighten.
When you’re trying to heal, but survival still feels louder than peace.
When you love God — but you’re tired of always having to “figure it out.”
That’s where faith gets shaky.
Not because you don’t believe in God.
But because
 fear starts talking louder than trust.
And Jesus knew that.

“You of Little Faith” Was Never a Put-Down

When Jesus said, “you of little faith,” He wasn’t shaming anyone.
He was
 calling out the source of their anxiety.
In Matthew 6, Jesus talks about the most basic, everyday concerns:
  • What will we eat?
  • What will we wear?
  • How will we make it?
Translation? Provision. Security. Survival.
And then Jesus does something intentional.
He points to grass — something temporary, fragile, and easily replaced — and says:
If God takes care of that…
How much more will He take care of you?
The problem was never God’s ability.
The problem was
 where their trust was sitting.

Where Faith Usually Breaks Down for Women

Let’s tell the truth.
For most of us, faith doesn’t collapse over theology —
It collapses over
 money, stability, and control.
Because money feels tangible.
Money feels safe.
Money feels predictable.
And Jesus doesn’t ignore that reality.
He addresses it head-on.
He tells us plainly:
We cannot serve two masters.
Not because money is evil —
But because
 money competes with God for trust.
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 without releasing control.

What Life Looks Like When We Don’t Fully Trust Jesus

I’m not going to soften this.
When we don’t trust Jesus completely:
  • Anxiety becomes normal
  • Fear starts making decisions
  • We chase provision but never feel secure
  • We work harder and rest less
  • We stay in survival mode instead of healing
We become exhausted — not because life is heavy, but because we’re carrying what God never assigned us to carry.
And the hard truth?
Many women aren’t lacking money —
They’re lacking
 faith-anchored trust.

Seek First the Kingdom — Not the Outcome

Jesus didn’t say ignore your needs.
He said
 put them in the right order.
Matthew 6:33 (NIV)
“But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.”
When God is first:
  • Peace follows obedience
  • Provision follows alignment
  • 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 we don’t talk about enough:
More money won’t heal insecurity.
More possessions won’t silence fear.
More control won’t bring peace.
Jesus is more than enough.
When He is your source:
  • You don’t panic when things feel tight
  • You don’t make desperate decisions
  • You don’t measure your worth by your resources
  • You learn to trust God even when the numbers don’t add up
More Than Enough Monday isn’t about pretending problems don’t exist.
It’s about deciding
 who you will trust in the middle of them.

A Real Question for You

Beautiful woman — let me ask you something honestly:
Where has your trust been resting lately?
On God… or on money?
On faith… or on fear?
On provision… or on the Provider?
Because wherever your trust lives —
Your peace follows.

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?
Trust Him fully.
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
