Unannounced strength

 Lord,

I am learning

that strength does not announce itself.

It wakes early,

does what must be done,

and trusts You with the rest.

I did not shine today.

I stayed faithful.

You saw it.

Amen.

Strength isn’t always loud or obvious. Most days, it shows up quietly — in getting up when it’s hard, doing what needs to be done, and trusting God through the ordinary moments of life. Unannounced Strength came from noticing this kind of strength, the kind that often goes unseen but carries great meaning.

This piece is inspired by Proverbs 31, which speaks about strength, faith, and consistency in everyday life. It reminds us that true strength isn’t about being perfect or admired, but about showing up with faith, kindness, and purpose, even when no one is watching.
