You Are an Answered Prayer

What do you do when you realize you are the answer to someone else’s prayer? For many women of faith, that realization brings discomfort instead of confidence. We’ve been taught that visibility equals pride, that humility means hiding, and that stepping forward somehow takes glory away from God. But what if that belief isn’t biblical at all? In this episode, we unpack the quiet resistance many of us feel when God calls us to show up for others. Not with arrogance. Not with entitlement. But with grace, humility, and a heart to serve. You’ll learn why being used by God does not diminish His glory, how false humility keeps us stuck in the background, and what it really looks like to live like you were made to shine. This conversation is for the woman who loves God deeply but struggles to step fully into her gifts, calling, and assignments without guilt or fear. In this episode, we explore: •What it means to be an answered prayer without striving or self-promotion •Why many women confuse humility with hiding •How bushel beliefs and background behavior keep us from showing up •The difference between obedience and seeking validation •How the SHINE Method helps restore alignment between value, voice, and virtue •What it looks like to serve others without shrinking yourself Scripture foundation Matthew 5:16 reminds us that letting our light shine doesn’t replace God. It reveals Him. Challenge of the Week Notice one place where you feel called to step in but have been hesitating. Ask God, “How can I show up with humility, not hiding?” Then take one small, faithful action. Sophia, you don’t have to prove anything to be used by God. Sometimes He answers prayers through peace. Sometimes through provision. And sometimes… through you. You were never meant to hide your light. You were made to shine. Ready to Grow your Shine? Start here: https://charajaneshine.com/Ready
