"Other people get quick answers but God is slower with me for some reason."
How it sounds in your head: Everyone else's prayers get answered fast but mine take forever. Maybe I'm not as important or God likes them better. There must be something wrong with me that makes God move slower in my life.
"Then Peter opened his mouth and said: 'In truth I perceive that God shows no partiality.'"
-- Acts 10:34Enemy + Trauma: Comparison and past experiences of being overlooked or last-chosen create a narrative that God has favorites and she's not one of them.
She sees testimonies of instant breakthrough and watches peers get what she's been praying for. At this age, comparison is constant and social media amplifies everyone else's highlight reel while she's living her behind-the-scenes wait.
Crippled, forgotten, living in exile in a place called 'Lo Debar' (meaning 'no pasture/barren'), Mephibosheth had nothing. David SENT FOR HIM and in one encounter gave him ALL of Saul's land, a permanent place at the king's table, and full restoration—instant favor he didn't earn.
I REFUSE the lie that God moves slower for me than for others. IT IS WRITTEN that God shows no partiality—He doesn't have favorites or a ranking system. What He did for them, He will do for me because His nature doesn't change based on the person. IT IS WRITTEN in Malachi 3:6 that He does not change, and Hebrews 13:8 says Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. I am Abraham's seed, heir according to promise, under the BARAK blessing that isn't based on behavior. I declare I am not overlooked, forgotten, or less important—I am LOVED, CHOSEN, and positioned for the SAME sudden breakthrough that others receive because the SAME God is my Father.
Father doesn't run faster for some kids than others—He's sprinting toward you with the same robe, ring, and sandals He gave the last prodigal. You're not in a slower line; you're in His direct line of sight, and He's been preparing YOUR party all along.
