Don’t Quit Now: What God Might Be Doing Behind the Scenes

Just because you can’t see the change doesn’t mean God isn’t working.

By Coach Sheila Faye

You’ve done all you know to do. You’ve cried. Prayed. Stayed. You’ve given more chances than you thought you had in you.

And still… the marriage doesn’t look like it’s changing. You’re wondering if it’s worth fighting for—or if it’s time to stop fighting at all.

Before you decide in the middle of the storm, let me speak this truth over you:

Just because you can’t see the change doesn’t mean God isn’t working.

He often does His greatest work behind the scenes—in the quiet, in the slow, in the sacred places you can’t touch but He can.

🌿 Endurance Isn’t Just Staying—It’s Trusting

Endurance in marriage isn’t about gritting your teeth and pretending everything’s fine.It’s about trusting God to hold what you can’t fix.

“See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?” —Isaiah 43:19 (NIV)

The new thing doesn’t always start loud. Sometimes it starts with subtle shifts: softened hearts, quieter tempers, open ears.

The seed is growing even when it’s still underground.

🔄 What God Might Be Doing While You Wait

1. He’s Developing Your Strength

Waiting seasons shape your character. They stretch your patience, increase your spiritual maturity, and make you a woman of wisdom and resilience.

Don’t underestimate the power of who you’re becoming in the waiting.

2. He’s Softening Hearts in Silence

That husband you think isn’t listening? God can whisper to him in the stillness. Conviction doesn’t always look like confession—it may look like quiet reflection, emotional resistance, or even avoidance.

But trust me, God knows how to reach His sons.

3. He’s Rebuilding a New Foundation

Sometimes God allows what’s broken to fully crack so He can rebuild it—not patch it.

This season might be the demolition before the restoration.

“Unless the Lord builds the house, the builders labor in vain.” —Psalm 127:1

💬 Hold On—Not in Your Strength, But His

Sis, I know it’s hard to keep believing in change when your eyes tell you nothing’s different. But that’s why it’s called faith.
