Gratitude Focus: Today, I’m Grateful For The Strength To Withstand

Written by Orvin Kimbrough | June 02, 2026

Reflection/Why I’m Grateful:

This has been one of those days—very early morning, very late night, and a lot coming at me from every direction. Pressure stacked on pressure. Decisions, expectations, resistance. And yet, I’m still standing.

I’m grateful for God’s armor—covering my mind, steadying my spirit, keeping me from being pulled under by the weight of it all. At times it felt like I was standing beneath a massive boulder on an incline, pushing upward, knowing that but for God I would have been crushed.

I thank the Lord for the seriousness He’s placed in my spirit, for the strategic thinking He continues to give me, and for the calm that allows me to stay focused on what actually matters right now. Not everything. Just the right things. The next things. The necessary things.

“Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes.” — Ephesians 6:11
