I Don’t Feel Things Are “For Good! (God Meant It For Good wk2)

I Don’t Feel Things Are “For Good!” | God Meant It For Good (Week 2) Last week, we kicked off our series with the truth that God can use our deepest pits for a greater purpose. But let’s be honest: what do you do when life just doesn’t feel good? When the anxiety is loud, the exhaustion is real, and the breakthrough feels miles away, it is incredibly easy to spiral. 🌪️💔 In Week 2 of God Meant It For Good, we step into the story of Elijah in 1 Kings 19. Elijah was a mighty prophet who saw God do incredible miracles, but James 5:17 reminds us he was “a person just like us.” When hit with a wave of fear and burnout, he threw his hands up under a broom tree, isolated himself, and told God, “I have had enough.” When life doesn’t feel “for good,” our minds play tricks on us. We devalue our worth, try to force control, and magnify our problems until we stop dreaming entirely. This message breaks down The Model While You Wait—revealing how God meets us in our exhaustion, tells us to “get up and eat,” and draws us back into life-giving community and praise. Key Takeaways: The Danger of the Spiral: Recognizing how emotional and physical exhaustion causes us to devalue our worth and magnify our problems. Get Up and Eat! Why physical and spiritual nourishment must come first when the journey is too heavy for you to carry alone. Get Connected with People: Breaking the cycle of isolation by leaning into God-given relationships and community. Regular Praise and Thanks: Why standing in reverence before God, even in dry seasons, brings a deep, supernatural strength. “Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up!” — Galatians 6:9 NEXT STEPS: 📍 New Here?
