One of the hardest lessons I’ve learned is that I can’t do it all on my own. During those months of stepping back, God placed people in my life who spoke truth, encouraged me, and helped me heal.
Being mentored reminded me that even leaders need guidance. Allowing others to pour into me felt vulnerable, but it was exactly what I needed. Their wisdom and prayers became a lifeline, pointing me back to God when I felt lost.
If you’re in a season of struggle, don’t try to carry it alone. God often works through the people around us, using their experiences and insights to sharpen us. Letting others pour into you isn’t a sign of weakness… it’s a step toward growth and healing.
Reflection Questions
- Who has God placed in your life to mentor and encourage you?

Prayer
Lord, thank You for the people You’ve placed in my life to sharpen and encourage me. Teach me to humbly receive their wisdom and to trust You in the process of growth. Help me to be open to the ways You work through others. I give You all honor, all the glory, and all the praise. It’s in Jesus’ name I pray. Amen & Amen.
