I’ve been going through a rough patch lately. Nothing dramatic from the outside, but emotionally, it’s been heavy. One of those stretches where you start feeling like everything is just a little too much, and you’re not sure how you’re supposed to keep showing up when your heart’s this tired.
And then I stumbled across this quote on X — “Don’t tell God how big your problem is. Tell your problem how big God is.”
I’ve seen it before, probably years ago, but for some reason, it hit different this time.
A Shift in Perspective
The first time you read it, it sounds almost like a motivational catchphrase. But the more I sat with it, the more I realized… it’s not just about being positive. It’s about remembering who you’re aligned with.
So often, when we’re overwhelmed, our first instinct is to pray from a place of panic:
“God, I don’t know what to do.”
“This is too big for me.”
“I can’t handle this.”
“Please, help me. Give me a sign.”
And listen — there’s absolutely nothing wrong with that. We’re human. We break down. We get scared. There’s nothing wrong with laying our fears at the feet of the divine. But this quote reminded me that there’s another way to speak.
One that comes from faith instead of fear.
From Victim Energy to Divine Authority
When you’re in the thick of something, whether it’s heartbreak, anxiety, grief, uncertainty, or just the slow ache of “I don’t know how to fix this”, it’s easy to speak like your problem is the loudest thing in the room. Like the pain is bigger than the healing. Like the mountain ahead feels bigger than any strength you’ve got inside.
We all do it. We spiral. We catastrophize. We start narrating our life like we’ve already lost.
But you don’t face your problems alone.
Even when it feels like you’re carrying everything by yourself, you’re not. There is something bigger walking beside you — always. Whether you call it God, the Universe, Spirit, your guides, or simply the energy of Love itself — it’s there. Quiet. Steady. Unshaken.
And that force?
It’s not small.
It’s not nervous.
It’s not confused about how this ends.
So instead of speaking from the energy of defeat, this quote reminds us to speak from alignment. From faith. From that deep, anchored knowing that we are supported. That we are backed by something far more powerful than anything trying to break us.
It’s a perspective shift.
A heart realignment.
A reminder to stop shrinking in the face of fear… and start expanding in the presence of faith.
Because even if you don’t see the full picture yet — you are not powerless here. And you never were.
Try Speaking To the Problem
Next time your mind starts spiraling, try flipping the script.
Instead of:
“God, I’m so scared of what might happen…”
Try:
“Fear, you don’t win here. I walk with God.”
Instead of:
“This mountain feels impossible.”
Try:
“Hey, mountain — do you know who’s helping me climb?”
It’s not about pretending things are easy. It’s not about ignoring reality. It’s about reclaiming your power to speak life into the places that feel hopeless.
You’re not begging the universe to help you. You’re standing in partnership with it. And sometimes, that alone can shift everything.
Final Thoughts
If you’re in a tough season right now, I feel you. I really do.
But maybe this quote found you at the right time, too. Maybe it’s a little reminder that you’re not powerless, even when it feels like life is testing you from every direction.
Whatever your “problem” is — doubt, fear, loss, confusion — it doesn’t get the final word. You do. And you can speak from the strength of something far bigger than whatever you’re up against.
So go ahead.
Don’t just whisper your worries.
Tell your fear about your faith.
Tell your storm about your shelter.
Tell your problem just how big your God is.
Because you’re not walking through this alone.
