When called to something difficult, it can feel overwhelming. But I believe God doesn’t give us tasks we can’t handle. His word says He won’t put more on us than we can bear. He sees our strength, even when we don’t. We can handle it; we can carry it.
Even in my weakness, God is strong. So, even when I don’t feel I can carry the weight, I’m not alone. This means I can do hard things well. I don’t have to make excuses. Jesus becomes my strength, His wisdom mine, His endurance mine. He empowers me.

My constant prayer is, “God, let me do the job well. Let me represent you well.” I try not to overthink the difficult parts. Juggling a tour, church, family, businesses, and my radio show isn’t easy. But I believe God gives me strength.
I strive for love and gratitude. Sometimes we fuss and complain, but I intentionally combat that negativity. I remember times without work, longing for opportunity. I remember dreaming of where I am now. I hold onto that gratitude.
Even now, I sometimes feel overwhelmed, tired, or ill-equipped. I still deal with insecurity, reminding myself of who God called me to be and what He says about me—not what others say. The battle is often in our heads. I combat “I can’t” and “What if they don’t?” with “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” God has equipped me; my mind is stayed on Him. When I’m weak, He is strong.

My prayer for you is the same: that you can do hard things well. Whatever your difficulty, you are equipped and capable to go through it, to come out smiling, victorious. You don’t have to be beaten down.
My prayer is, “Lord, let me do hard things well, with a good spirit, without grumbling.” If I truly believe His word, I know He has my back. And if He has mine, He has yours too. Declare it: “God’s got my back.” Even in low places, God will lift me. Speak life, declare what He said. If I repeat negativity, nothing changes. But with faith and gratitude, I thank Him for intervention, open doors, favor, and increase because He helps me do hard things well
