Where Has Your POWER Gone?

feeling powerless powerful resiliant Aug 13, 2025

Think back to a time when you felt powerful.

You woke up with purpose.

Ideas flowed.

You felt strong, capable, and ready to face challenges head-on.

Even when obstacles popped up, you believed you could find a way through.

You made decisions with confidence.

You took action.

You were moving forward.

That’s what powerful feels like—full of energy, courage, and clarity.

But life can shift.

A disappointment hits.

Progress slows.

Someone’s words cut deeper than you expected.

Slowly, without realizing it, you start feeling… different.

That surge of energy fades.

Your belief gets replaced with doubt.

You stop taking bold steps and start settling for “safe.”

Before long, you’re not just tired—you’re powerless.

Powerless feels like you’re stuck in quicksand, watching others move ahead while you stay in place.

It’s when you tell yourself, It won’t matter. It’s too late. Why bother?

And here’s the truth—powerless isn’t caused by the facts.

It’s caused by the beliefs you attach to the facts.

Two people can face the same reality—one rises, the other retreats.

The difference?

Belief.

You have to accept the facts, yet hold onto, batten down, strengthen, fortify, and dial in your deepest (faith-filled) beliefs.

Even with negative facts staring you in the eyes, you must still choose to believe.

You must be more stubborn in your belief than the “negativity” of the facts.

If you allow the facts to wash away your beliefs, don’t be surprised if they also wash away your power.

2 Short Questions to Start Your Journey Back from Powerless to Powerful

It starts with two short questions:

“What if…?” – What if God’s promises still stand? What if this challenge is shaping my perseverance and character? What if He’s closer than I think?

“How…?” – How can I take the next step? How can I create a plan? How can I act on my faith today?
