Lately, I’ve noticed a shift in how the Lord is speaking to me through my time In the Word. It’s not just encouragement—it’s as if He’s stirring up an unrest inside me, a refusal to sit quietly while His children believe the lies of the enemy. I feel it for myself, and I feel it for others: the heaviness of defeat and the hopelessness that tries to settle in.


We are children of the King. And when you are a child of royalty, you walk differently, you speak differently, and you live accordingly.

“‘Is this true?’ the king asked her. And she told him the story. So he directed one of his officials to see that everything she had lost was restored to her, including the value of any crops that had been harvested during her absence.”—2 Kings 8:6 (NLT)

Obedience can feel costly. Sometimes it looks like loss—like walking away from a home, relationships, or dreams. Here's the deal, the God of restoration promises that nothing surrendered in obedience will truly be lost. He not only restores what the enemy tried to steal, but He adds interest. He accounts for the unseen harvest you thought was gone forever.


For those who feel like obedience has cost you everything, hear this:

if it’s not good yet, God’s not done yet. Divorce, infertility, rejection, disappointment, brokenness—none of it gets the last word. What looks final is not final when God steps in. His restoration is not partial; it is extravagant.

Father, I place every place of loss in Your hands. Where I have felt robbed, overlooked, or left empty, I trust You to restore. Thank You that nothing given up in obedience is wasted. Redeem the years, repay what was stolen, and release Your abundance over my life. I declare by faith that what looks broken will be made whole, and what feels empty will overflow again. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
