📖 SCRIPTURE:

“And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him…”
— Romans 8:28 (NIV)

💬 DEVOTIONAL WORD:

You weren’t just tossed into that storm by accident.
God used it. All of it.

The betrayal that broke your heart?
The delay that made you feel forgotten?
The chaos that stripped your control?

Every gust of wind… every crashing wave…
He used them to reposition you.

You thought the storm came to destroy you—
but it came to align you.
It cleared what couldn’t go with you.
It revealed what was rooted.
And it shook you free from what was never stable.

You’re not a victim of the storm.
You’re a product of its power.
And now you’re standing in the exact place God planned.

🛡️ ANCHOR WORD — SETUP

Shifted out of comfort
Elevated by resistance
Trained through pressure
Unshaken by circumstances
Positioned for purpose

🗣️ SAY IT ALOUD:

“My storm didn’t sink me. It set me up.”

🔥 POWER PROMPT:

Look back at a storm you thought would destroy you.
What setup do you now recognize in that season?

CLOSING PRAYER:

Lord, I praise You for every storm that didn’t make sense.
Thank You for using chaos to position me.
Even when I felt lost, You were leading.
Help me recognize the setup in the shaking, and stay planted in Your purpose—no matter the weather.
In Jesus’ name, amen.
