Scripture: 1 Corinthians 15:58
“Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the Lord’s work, because you know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.”
Reflection
It’s hard to keep going when it feels like nothing matters. The hours you’ve poured in. The energy spent. The prayers offered. The compassion given. When you don’t see results—or worse, when your efforts are dismissed—it’s easy to wonder: Was any of it worth it?
Paul doesn’t offer platitudes. He speaks straight to the heart of this fear: Your labor is not in vain.
Why? Because what’s done in love, in faith, in obedience—no matter how small or unseen—is caught in the eternal purposes of God. The Kingdom doesn’t measure worth the way the world does. God gathers every tear, every kind word, every unseen act of service and sows them into glory.
What you gave was not wasted. Who you were in that moment mattered deeply. Even when others overlook it, even when you forget it yourself—God remembers.
Your faithfulness is more than effort. It’s participation in the sacred.
So take a breath. You haven’t labored in vain. The story is still unfolding.
Centering Prayer
God…
I’ve wondered if all I’ve done really matters. I’ve questioned whether it’s been worth it. But I receive Your promise today: nothing done in You is wasted. Strengthen me to keep going in love. Amen.
Practice for Today
Recall one moment when you gave your best and felt it was unnoticed. Offer it back to God today—not as regret, but as worship. Say aloud: The moment mattered.
Journaling Prompt
What’s one experience I thought was wasted that God may still be using for good?
Closing Blessing
Your love is not forgotten.
Your effort is not erased.
Your labor is not in vain.
You are part of something eternal—
even when you cannot see it.
Pray as You Go
Breathe in: My labor matters...
Breathe out: …and nothing is wasted.
