Miracles Begin with Gratitude

We often think of miracles as sudden, life-changing events—moments where everything falls into place. But the truth is, the biggest miracles take time.

They require a strong foundation, built on faith, resilience, and gratitude. Because until you appreciate what you have, how can you expect to receive more?

But here’s the part we don’t always talk about— Blessings often come through the breaking.

• The job loss that leads to your real passion.
• The heartbreak that makes space for true love.
• The struggle that teaches you resilience.

The moments that feel like they’re tearing you apart? They’re actually shaping you. They’re preparing you for something bigger than you can imagine.

I’ve seen this truth play out over and over—not just in my own life, but in the lives of the young people I work with through the Power of Peace Program. When they shift their perspective from struggle to strength, everything changes.

So today, I challenge you to:

? Find gratitude in the middle of the process.

? Trust that every setback is setting you up for something greater.

? Know that your miracle is already in motion.

Your breakthrough is coming. Keep building. Keep believing.
