When You Feel Like You’re Not Making a Difference

February 20, 2025

"If these devotionals have been a blessing to you, consider supporting our ministry so we can continue sharing God’s word with women around the world. Your generosity helps spread His light! 🙏 ‘Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.’ – 2 Corinthians 9:7"

Key Verse:
"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

Devotional:

Have you ever felt like your efforts don’t matter? Like the work you do—whether at home, in your job, or in your relationships—goes unnoticed? It’s easy to wonder, Does any of this even make a difference?

Galatians 6:9 reminds us that our efforts are not in vain. Every act of kindness, every moment of patience, every unseen prayer—it all matters to God. He sees what others don’t, and He promises that in His perfect timing, you will see the fruit of your faithfulness.

Don’t give up. Keep showing up. Keep doing good. Even if you don’t see the impact now, trust that God is using you in ways beyond what you can see.

Reflection & Prayer Prompt:

  • In what areas of your life do you feel unnoticed or unappreciated?

  • Ask God to remind you that your work, no matter how small, has purpose.

Faith in Action:

Write a note of encouragement to someone who may also feel unseen. Let them know they are making a difference.

Prayer:

Lord, sometimes I feel like my efforts don’t matter, but I know that You see them. Help me to trust that even the small things I do have a purpose. Give me strength to keep going and faith to believe that You are working through me. Amen.
