Sample entries

A new challenge.
That familiar uncertainty.

When a new challenge comes, it’s easy to forget the help you’ve received.

  1. 01 / Then

    The prayer before
    the answer.

    “I’m afraid nothing will change. I don’t know what the next step is.”

  2. 02 / Later

    The help you almost
    forgot.

    “A conversation opened a new possibility. I felt hopeful again.”

  3. 03 / Today

    A reason to take
    the next step.

    “This is still hard. But I remember how God helped me before.”

You’ve been helped before.

Transcript

Another challenge. And that familiar fear of not knowing what comes next.

Sometimes we forget how God has carried us before. Remembering can bring courage for today.

With Thus Far, return to the prayer you wrote when you couldn’t see a way forward. Remember how you felt.

Then read what happened next. The help you received, and the answer you almost forgot.

The new challenge is still here. But you can face it remembering God’s faithfulness.

Remember what God has done. Find courage for what comes next. Thus Far.
