Acceptance as Faith

Tuesday, 08/19/2025 – Acceptance as Faith

Scripture: “I can do all things through him who strengthens me.” – Philippians 4:13 (NRSV)

Michael J. Fox says that accepting Parkinson’s didn’t mean surrender—it meant choosing what to do next from where he actually was, not where he wished he could be. That’s faith in action: believing that God can work right here, in the middle of your limits.

Acceptance frees up energy you’ve been spending on the impossible. Instead of wishing things were different, you can focus on what’s actually in front of you. This isn’t resignation—it’s trusting God to be present and powerful right where you are.

Today, pray: “God, help me accept what I cannot control today—and show me what I can do.” Then, take one small action in faith.

Prayer: God, I release the impossible to You. Show me the faithful step I can take today. Amen.
