This morning, I was listening to a song and found myself quietly reflecting on the grace of God—how undeserved it is, how constant it has been, and how it keeps showing up in my life.
And then, almost on cue, the next song that came on was Blinded by Your Grace by Stormzy. The song is about feeling overwhelmed by God’s love and mercy, recognising personal brokenness but being restored through faith in God.
I smiled. Because isn’t that just like God?
On Christmas Day especially, this thought kept circling my heart: Lord, who am I that You are so mindful of me?
I’m not worthy. Yet You show me mercy. Your grace isn’t rationed or earned—it’s available to me on tap.
“What is mankind that You are mindful of them, human beings that You care for them?” — Psalm 8:4
As the year draws to a close, it’s easy—almost natural—to focus on what didn’t go the way we planned.
The prayers that seemed unanswered.
The timelines that stretched longer than expected.
The moments that tested our faith.
But when I pause and really reflect, I realise this:
So many things have gone far beyond what I could have ever asked of God.
• Excellent health
• A sound mind (on most days lol)
• A deeper, more honest relationship with Him
• A roof over my head
• Provision on all sides
• Protection from things I saw coming—and many I didn’t
“The Lord has done great things for us, and we are filled with joy.” — Psalm 126:3
As I close this year, my heart overflows with gratitude.
Emi mimo, ese.
Abasi Sosongo.
Thank You, I Am That I Am.
Thank You for protecting me from seen and unseen battles.
Thank You for covering me in situations I didn’t even know were forming.
There is truly none like You.
I know without doubt that I am Your favourite child—because the way You love me feels so personal. And yes… many times my coconut head still wants to take over , but thank You for Your patience with me. Thank You for constantly reminding me that You have my life firmly in Your hands and that my job is to trust You.
“Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life.” — Psalm 23:6
So as I look ahead, I’m not striving the same way anymore.
2025 reminded me of His grace.
Grace that carried me.
Grace that covered me.
Grace that kept me when I didn’t even know I needed keeping.
And in 2026, I choose rest.
I choose surrender.
Father, do to me what You want.
Take the lead.
I’ll follow.
And yes—one time for the Lord, for real for real!
“My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is made perfect in weakness.” — 2 Corinthians 12:9
Closing Thought
Sometimes, we don’t realise how much grace we’re standing in until we stop striving long enough to see it.
I’ve been blinded by His grace—and honestly, I don’t want my sight back if this is what blindness looks like.
Reflection Prayer
Father,
Thank You for Your grace that carried me through this year.
Thank You for mercy I didn’t earn and protection I didn’t even see.
As I step into a new year, I surrender fully to You.
Teach me to rest in You, trust You deeply, and follow You faithfully.
Do with my life what brings You glory.
I am Yours.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
