From Grasshopper to Giant

Heavenly Father

As I step into this week, I refuse to hide. No more shrinking. No more running. No more pretending to be anything less than who You created me to be.

I am chosen—not overlooked, not forgotten, not misplaced. Chosen. And because You have called me, I will no longer allow fear, doubt, or the opinions of others to keep me in the shadows.

Lord, there are times when I’ve seen myself as a grasshopper, even while You’re calling me a giant. And for the times I’ve shrunk back, stayed silent, or run from my calling—I repent. I repent for withholding my voice when You’ve asked me to speak. I repent for running from the mandate to take Your healing to the nations, to testify of Your miraculous works in my life so that others, too, may find healing and transformation.

And thank You, Lord, for working on me—shaping me—so I don’t just know I’m a giant in the Spirit, but feel it. So that when I rise to speak, the world will see the giant You created me to be, not the grasshopper I once believed I was.
You have filled my heart, You have given me a voice, and You have called me to stand. So I pray, Lord, as I step into the places You have assigned to me, that the giant within me will rise—not for my glory, but for Yours.

God, I admit there were times when hiding felt safer. When blending in seemed easier. When it felt more comfortable to dim my light than to risk being seen.

But not this week. No more...

I repent for those moments of retreat. And this is the week I step forward.
This is the week I embrace who I am.
This is the week I stop apologising for the way You set me apart.

I don’t need permission to be who You created me to be.
I don’t need validation to walk in my calling.
I don’t need approval to take up space in the places You’ve prepared for me.

I just need faith…
The kind that silences every doubt.
The kind that pushes past every insecurity.
The kind that reminds me You don’t choose people by accident.

So, I step out.
I stand tall.
I walk boldly.
I am chosen.
And I will no longer hide.

I will speak up so that Your message of healing 💔heARTs 💖 can reach the broken-hearted.
So that together, we can change the world—one 💔heart💖 at a time.

In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
