Ever stare at a puzzle piece so long you start questioning your eyesight, your patience, and your entire life choices?
You’re holding this weird little shape in your hand thinking, “Where does this even go?”
But here’s the quiet truth most of us forget:
Feeling lost doesn’t mean you’re failing —
it means you’re in the middle of alignment.
Every breakthrough has a moment that looks like confusion.
Every calling has a season where you can’t see the next step.
Every story has a chapter where the page feels blank.
But that’s not the end.
That’s the in-between.
And the in-between is where the masterpiece is getting built.
The Puzzle Never Makes Sense Until It Does
Think about a puzzle spread across a table.
Pieces everywhere.
Colors scattered.
Edges mixed with corners.
Nothing looks like the box.
You ever notice how the first 85% of the work feels like NOTHING is happening?
Then suddenly —
one piece snaps into place.
Then another.
Then five more.
And out of nowhere, the picture begins to reveal itself.
That’s life.
That’s purpose.
That’s you.
The moments where you say, “I don’t know what I’m doing,”
are often the ones where everything is quietly coming together behind the scenes.
Lost is the Setup for Clarity
It’s easy to trust God when the steps make sense.
It’s harder when you're in the dark holding one piece with no idea where it fits.
But progress isn’t always loud.
Alignment isn’t always obvious.
Growth isn’t always comfortable.
Sometimes you won’t see the picture until you’ve lived enough of the puzzle.
And when things finally connect?
You’ll look back and realize the moments you hated were actually the ones that were shaping you, stretching you, positioning you.
Not punishment — preparation.
Your Life Is a Picture Worth Finishing
So if you feel lost right now… breathe.
You’re not off track.
You’re in your forming season.
Keep showing up.
Keep placing the pieces one by one.
Keep trusting the process even when the edges look crooked.
Because one day —
soon —
the pieces will start clicking together in ways only divine timing can explain.
And when that clarity hits?
You’ll realize every “lost” moment was a necessary part of the picture God was building through you.
A masterpiece doesn’t look like a masterpiece while it’s being assembled.
Keep going.
Your puzzle is making progress — even when you can’t see it yet.
