Sometimes the hardest thing to see… is how far we’ve already come.
At the start of the week, many of us focus on what we hope to accomplish. By Friday, our attention often shifts to what didn’t get finished or the progress that still feels slow.
But what if we stopped for a moment and looked back?
On this episode of The Lifeline Morning Show, Steven reflects on Psalm 118:24:
“This is the day the Lord has made. We will rejoice and be glad in it.”
Instead of rushing into the weekend, we pause to recognize something many people miss:
You may already be living through prayers you once prayed.
In this episode we talk about recognizing the quiet ways God works in our lives—even when growth feels slow.
You’ll hear:
• Why growth rarely feels dramatic while it’s happening• The power of reflecting on the week with gratitude• Listener testimonies about answered prayers• Encouragement for anyone walking through a hard season• A reminder to keep taking the next step of faith
We also hear wisdom from Pastor Brian Trent about daily obedience, a devotion on the healing power of laughter, and a reminder that growth often requires discomfort before breakthrough.
If you feel like your progress is slow or unnoticed, this episode will help you step back and see the bigger picture.
God has been walking with you the entire time.
And when you look back, you may discover something amazing:
You’ve already come farther than you thought.
