There is something beautifully humbling about admitting, “God is working on me.” It is a statement of surrender, of spiritual awareness, and of hope. It acknowledges that we are not perfect, but we are not without purpose. We are on the Potter’s wheel, being molded, refined, and shaped by the Master’s hands. God is the Potter and we are the clay in His hands, as spoken by the prophet Isaiah, “But now, O Lord, thou art our father; we are the clay, and thou our potter; and we all are the work of thy hand” Isaiah 64:8.

Being in the hands of God is an ongoing process of transformation, and transformation is not a one-time event. It is a lifelong journey. When we surrender our lives to Christ, the Holy Spirit begins the sanctifying work of making us more like Jesus. This process involves pruning, stretching, and renewing. It’s not always comfortable, but it’s always purposeful. The Apostle Paul tells us, "And we all, who with unveiled faces contemplate the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into his image with ever-increasing glory..."  2 Corinthians 3:18 (NIV).

God is not simply interested in behavior modification, He desires heart transformation. He doesn’t just want to clean the outside of the cup, but He’s purifying the inside. That means confronting attitudes, healing wounds, and changing mindsets.

When We Don’t Feel Ready or Worthy

There are days when I feel like I’ve failed, fallen short, or missed the mark. In those moments, I remind myself that God is not finished with me. He sees the end from the beginning. What looks like a mess in my eyes is a masterpiece in progress through His.

Even when I feel unworthy or unusable, God’s grace whispers to me, “I’m not done with you yet.” He chooses the weak to show His strength. He chooses the broken to reveal His glory. And He chooses you and me, flawed, yet deeply loved, to carry His light, and so we understand when the Apostle Paul tells us, "Being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion..."  Philippians 1:6, that God is still working on us. There is no need to become frustrated with ourselves, only to commit and submit to His working process in and through us.

The Process Matters

We often pray for the promise but resist the process. Yet, it is in the process that character is built. Faith is stretched. Trust is deepened. God doesn’t waste anything, not even our struggles. Every lesson, every detour, every delay is part of His divine construction plan. Sometimes, the process feels slow. Sometimes we don’t see progress. But rest assured, God is working behind the scenes, even when we don’t feel it. As the song “Way Maker” by Leeland and others says, ‘Even when you don’t feel it, He’s working; even when you don’t see it, He’s working; He never stops, He never stops working.’ He’s aligning things, healing things, and preparing things that we don’t yet understand.

Wherever you are in your journey, take heart. You are not behind. You are not disqualified. You are simply “in progress.” Let that bring you peace. Let it remind you that your story is still being written by the Author of all things good. God is working on you, so keep walking, keep trusting, and keep growing

A Prayer for Growth Process

Lord, thank You for not giving up on me. Thank you for continuing to shape me even when I resist. Help me to trust the process and rest in Your timing. Give me the grace to grow and the strength to stay faithful, knowing that You are working all things together for my good. In Jesus' name, Amen.

Blessings!
