Walk by Faith: When Adulting Feels Like a Blindfolded Obstacle Course

There’s something about Victor Thompson’s “2Cor 5:7” that’s been ministering to me deeply.

Maybe it’s the quiet repetition. Maybe it’s the comfort of Scripture turned melody. Or maybe it’s just that it feels like someone put my current season into song.

“Walk by faith, not by sight.

Standing solely on the Word.

Not by strength, not by might—

Already won all my fight.”

It sounds simple. But simple doesn’t mean easy—especially not in this ghetto season called adulting.

There are days where I feel like I’m doing everything and nothing at once.

Trying to grow, keep up, be present, show up for others, save money, drink water, and sleep 8 hours… all while chasing purpose and figuring out if that one prayer request is ever going to get answered.

2 Corinthians 5:7 says:

“For we walk by faith, not by sight.”

And Victor Thompson sings it like a steady heartbeat, reminding me that faith doesn’t require evidence—it requires trust.

But let me be honest:

Faith is harder when you’re doing everything “right” but still waiting for things to click. When the promises feel distant. When the timelines aren’t timing. When you feel behind—but you’re too tired to hustle the way you used to.

And then there’s that version of me—the one obsessed with clarity. She wants to know where she’ll live next year, who she’ll marry, what her career will look like in five years, and whether she’ll ever stop checking her bank app and holding her breath.

She’s a planner. A fixer. A spreadsheet warrior.

But faith isn’t a spreadsheet. It’s not a vision board or a five-year plan. It’s a daily yes. A shaky step in the dark. A whispered, “God, I trust You—even here.”

Sometimes I want a divine schedule. A holy “track your parcel” feature. But God may not give dates—He gives direction though! And His direction for now? Walk.

Not by sight.

Not by vibes.

But by faith.

There’s a part of Victor Thompson’s song that lingers in my mind every time I hear it:

“He’s won, He’s won, He’s won my battles…”

It’s repetitive for a reason—because sometimes your spirit needs a reminder louder than your circumstances.

Because sight will fail me. Emotions will betray me. But the Word? The Word is steady. And He’s won. Every single time.

So I’ll walk. Even when I don’t see it. Even when it’s slow. Even when my faith is hanging by a mustard-seed thread.

So yeah—adulting is ghetto sometimes. Friendships stretch. Dreams stall. Life throws curveballs.

But I’m still walking. Not because I see the full picture… But because the One who painted it has never failed me.

And that’s enough!
