“When It Feels Like No One Gets It”
📖 “But these things I have told you, that when the time comes, you may remember that I told you of them.”
—John 16:4a (NKJV)
It’s easy to feel blindsided when you’re trying to do what’s right—and things still fall apart.
When you lose friends because of your faith…
When people misunderstand your convictions…
When the world feels like it’s upside-down…
You might wonder: “Did I do something wrong?”
Jesus answers that question in advance:
No—you didn’t. He told you it would be like this.
Not to discourage you, but to prepare you.
So when it happens—you remember:
He knew. He warned you. He’s still with you.
That changes everything.
You’re not weak. You’re not crazy. You’re not alone.
You’re walking the same road Jesus walked—and He’s walking it with you.
Challenge Questions:
- When was the last time following Jesus cost you something?
- How does it help knowing He already prepared you for this?
Prayer:
Jesus, help me to remember what You said when things feel hard. When I’m tempted to quit or hide, remind me that You warned me, and that You’re with me. Give me the courage to keep following You. Amen.

I’m a follower of Christ, learning daily to walk the narrow path laid out in His Word. Through Rooted & Raised: Anchoring Women & Children in Christ, I simply seek to point others back to Scripture, tested by the Holy Spirit, lived out in faith, and anchored in truth.
● This space isn’t about lofty theology or grand platforms. It’s about humble obedience, Kingdom living, and helping others, especially women and families, rediscover the kind of faith that bears fruit, costs something, and reflects the love of Christ. My heart is to encourage others as I learn, grow, and surrender alongside them.
