When Life Plays Hard to Get.

You can try everything, really, everything. 

Give it your best shot, sweat through late nights, pour your heart and soul into a hundred different things, and still… end up with nothing. 

Not a penny, not a single asset, not even a "thank you" from the universe. 

Just empty hands and a long list of failed attempts.

Life is funny like that, well, not "ha-ha" funny, more like "are you kidding me?" funny. 

It doesn’t always play fair. 

One day you’re full of dreams and big plans, the next day you’re wondering if your WiFi bill is optional this month.

Now, don’t get me wrong, this isn’t about people who are just starting out. 

This is about the folks who have been in the game for years, trying and trying, only to get knocked back down every time. 

Not because they’re lazy. 

Not because they’re not smart. 

But simply because, for some reason, life keeps moving the goalposts just when they’re about to score.

I’ve seen them. 

The ones who hustle every day, who never stop fighting, yet somehow, struggle clings to them like a bad habit. 

You might feel like stepping in to help, thinking they just need a little push. But then you realize, they’re professionals at surviving. 

Not because they want to be, but because life didn’t give them a choice.

They don’t need pity. 

They don’t even ask for it. 

They’ve learned to live in a world that often seems to have forgotten them, a world that teases them with a little hope only to snatch it away at the last second. 

It’s almost like there’s a special committee in charge of making sure they never catch a break.

Ever feel like life is handing out blessings, but somehow you got skipped? 

Like maybe you signed up for the wrong God’s mailing list? 

Some days it feels like the universe is on mute when you pray, or worse, like your prayers are being rerouted to voicemail.

But listen, if that’s you, I want you to hear this: you are not forgotten. 

I pray for you today. I pray that your breakthrough doesn’t take its sweet time but arrives fast, like express shipping, like a miracle that doesn’t come with fine print. 

May God remember you, strengthen you, and bless the work of your hands.

You are not alone. 

You are not cursed. 

The weight you’ve been carrying for so long will finally be lifted. 

And in the mighty name of Jesus, may your days of hardship be replaced with joy, abundance, and a peace that doesn’t disappear when the bills show up.

Amen.
