He's Still Working on Me | Your Nightly Prayer

We are all a work in progress — every one of us. As our nightly prayer and devotional recall, in Philippians 1:6, Paul reminds believers that God’s work in our lives is ongoing, intentional, and faithful. He is shaping our hearts and refining our character day by day, even when we can’t yet see the finished masterpiece.

Angie Grant recalls a sweet song from her childhood:

“He’s still working on me to make me what I ought to be… How loving and patient He must be, He’s still working on me.”

This simple tune carries a profound truth: God is patient with His people. His process may not be instant, but it is purposeful. As parents, spouses, or friends, we’re called to reflect that same patience toward others — especially when life feels slow or imperfect.

Angie shares a touching moment when her young son gently reminded her of this truth by singing,

“There really ought to be a sign upon my heart, don’t judge me yet, there’s an unfinished part…”

In that moment, she was reminded that God is still working on all of us — refining, healing, and shaping us into His image. When frustration arises, may we remember His faithfulness in the past and trust that the good work He began will surely be completed.
