I open my hands and heart to receive.
I used to survive on empty—giving from lack, hoping for a breakthrough.
But today, I realize… I am the breakthrough.
I’m not waiting on the blessing. I am the blessing.
No more shrinking when things get good.
No more rehearsing loss in the middle of gain.
This season, I release the fear of change,
and I welcome the flow of divine provision.
Spirit has already answered prayers I forgot I prayed—
with shelter, with peace, with real love.
So why would I doubt now?
I trust what’s being aligned behind the scenes.
I trust when Spirit says yes, when it says wait,
and when it lovingly reroutes me.
I trust that I don’t have to hustle for what’s already mine.
Abundance is not about chasing more—
it’s about honoring what I have
and showing up like I know who I am.
Today, I stand open.
Not desperate. Not fearful. Not bracing.
Just open.
To the goodness I’ve earned.
To the love I’ve poured.
To the overflow I now receive.
And so it is.
