This month’s affirmation is: “Amazing things happen when you try.”

This positive affirmation is taken from our colouring book titled " Daily Affirmations Colouring Book " Daily Calm: A Mindful Affirmations Colouring Book for Adults | ruthymichaels.com

Trying can feel like the most challenging part sometimes. It’s that step between fear and faith, the “what if I fail?” moment. But scripture gives us a powerful reminder of what happens when we choose to try.

When David stood before Goliath, he was underestimated, ridiculed, even told he wasn’t capable. But instead of backing down, he tried. With only a sling and a stone, he faced what others thought was impossible. And the victory was his. Amazing things happened because he tried.

Then we see the prodigal son. After wasting everything, he could have given up and stayed lost. But he decided to take one step home, one act of trying. And that small decision led to restoration, love, and a new beginning. Again, amazing things happened because he made an effort.

The truth is, amazing things rarely happen when we stay stuck in fear. They unfold when we step out, when we risk, when we try. Because it’s in the trying that God steps in and does the rest.

This month, whatever you’re facing, remember: amazing things happen when you try.
