Elevation with Steven Furtick

Angry? Pray. Confused? Pray. Doubting? Pray. Ready to give up? Pray. 

Because the prayer you're not proud of is better than the one you won't pray. God isn't asking you to clean up your emotions or find the perfect words before you come to Him. Whatever you're carrying, bring it to Him honestly today and pray anyway.

You’re more than what you’re going through. In “You Are Not It,” Pastor Steven Furtick of Elevation Church reveals that God doesn’t see us through the lens of what we’ve done, but for who we are.

You don't have to feel ready to move forward in faith. Sometimes growth looks like grieving what was, trusting God with what's missing, and still choosing to take the next best step. If you're carrying both blessings and burdens right now, discover how God can lead you forward even when life feels mixed.

If you’ve been feeling grateful AND sad, excited AND anxious, or blessed AND overwhelmed, this message is for you.

Is it wrong to doubt God? When we face resistance, or God doesn’t come through like we’re expecting, it’s natural to wonder if we heard Him wrong. But it turns out that doubt isn’t really the problem. It’s what you do with your doubt that matters.

When God doesn’t show up the way you expected, it doesn’t mean He’s absent. The delay, the silence, or the disappointment may be the very place He’s drawing close, revealing His glory in a way you couldn’t have seen before.

Feeling stuck doesn’t mean you’re failing. It often means you’re standing in the place where God is strengthening you, stretching you, and teaching you to trust what He’s already put in your hands. The pressure, the resistance, and the pull to go back are all signs you’re on the verge of something significant.
