Life unfolds in chapters, and we often see someone’s success without recognizing the struggles behind it. In Ruth 4, Ruth’s journey from loss to redemption shows God’s providence at work. Every hardship led her to Boaz, her kinsman-redeemer. But Boaz didn’t just wait—he made a plan and took action. His story reminds us that faith isn’t just hoping; it’s preparing for what’s next.

Prayer shaped Ruth’s story, from Naomi’s blessings to Boaz’s declarations of favor. These faith-filled prayers, combined with trust and wise choices, led to a new chapter. Like Ruth, we are not in our final chapter. When we trust God, make intentional decisions, and stay prayerful, we step into the better story He is writing for us.
