Chiiiile, Please!

Chiiiile… we don’t play about our prayers, do we?
We pray from our guts. From our tiredness. From the ache in our spirit that says, “God, if You don’t come through on this, I don’t know what I’ll do.” We ask for clarity, for healing, for purpose, for elevation. We pray for that business to grow, for that relationship to be restored, for the weight to lift, for the strength to stay or the strength to leave.

And then what?
Then we wait.

But here’s where it gets real — your prayers were never supposed to live in isolation from your choices.
Prayers without preparation are just emotional requests. They may be honest, but they lack follow-through. And faith without discipline is just potential sitting on idle.

We say, “God, send me peace,”and then keep returning to situations that feed our anxiety.
We say, “God, use me for Your purpose,” and then ignore every nudge to leave what no longer aligns.
We say, “God, help me heal,”but stay stuck because healing would require boundaries… and boundaries would cost us some comfort.

So here’s the hard truth: you might be delaying the very thing you prayed for because you refuse to make the hard choice that honors the request.

Let me ask you:

* Did you pray for peace… but won’t protect your time or say no?
* Did you ask for growth… but stay planted in the soil of old habits?
* Did you ask for love… but keep showing up for the same kind of disappointment in a new body?

God will absolutely move on your behalf — but are you moving on His?
Because baby, the miracle might be waiting on your movement.
The door is ready to open… but He’s waiting for you to let go of what’s in your hands first.

Discipline isn’t about being hard on yourself. It’s about honoring what you cried for.
It’s about showing God — and yourself — that you are ready to receive the thing you once thought was too big for you.
And yes, discipline feels uncomfortable. It challenges the version of you that wants to stay soft in avoidance.
But it also becomes the very container that holds your transformation.

You don’t need a new word from God — you need to act on the one He already gave you.
You don’t need another sign — you need to move on the vision.
And you don’t need to be perfect — you just need to be aligned.

So here’s your invitation this week:
Put your faith in motion.
Put your prayer into practice.
Don’t just want it. Walk like you’re ready to receive it.

Because the woman you’re becoming?
She’s not just prayerful — she’s disciplined.
