– Trusting God with the changes, challenges, and quiet moments.
There are moments when life feels like a blossoming spring—new love, fresh purpose, clarity so vibrant it makes you want to run toward your destiny.
And then… there are seasons that feel like autumn. Things start to fall away. The people you relied on drift off. The version of you that thrived in one season begins to shed.
Winter arrives next. Cold. Quiet. Sometimes cruel. But it teaches you what you can’t learn in the light—how to wait, how to be still, how to know that even this is under God’s control.
And just when you think you’ve gotten used to the cold, spring quietly makes its return. Not with fireworks. But with subtle hints. A message from someone you thought had forgotten you. A door creaking open. A strength you didn’t realize you possessed.
Ecclesiastes 3:1 (NLT) states: “For everything there is a season, a time for every activity under heaven.”
We don’t get to skip seasons. But we *do* get to survive them with the knowledge that **God never leaves the scene**. The Lord *knows*.
He knows when you’re hanging on by a thread, smiling in rooms where your heart is crying out.
He knows when you’re flourishing—and when you’re worried that everything might crumble.
He knows when your season doesn’t align with your prayers. And He knows how to guide you from one chapter to the next—even when you feel stuck in the footnotes.
What to Remember in Seasonal Shifts:
- Every season has a purpose—even when it feels pointless.
That breakup. That lost job. That relocation. It’s not random. It’s refining. - You don’t have to understand it to survive it.
Job didn’t get answers right away. Joseph didn’t see the palace coming while sitting in the pit. But God’s plan still worked. - Silence doesn’t mean absence.
Just because God isn’t saying much doesn’t mean He isn’t doing much. Some growth happens underground. - Seasons prepare you, not punish you.
What feels like a delay may actually be divine development.
Scripture Anchor:
“I am the LORD, and I do not change.” — Malachi 3:6 (NLT)
Because God doesn’t change, we can trust Him—even when everything else does.
Sometimes, we panic in the process. But there’s peace in knowing this: you’re not forgotten just because the season feels unfamiliar. The Lord knows exactly where you are. And He’s already written what comes next.
So whether you’re in the spring of new beginnings, the heat of summer challenges, the fall of necessary endings, or the winter of waiting—you’re still in His hands.
You don’t have to force it.
You don’t have to fake it.
You just have to trust that He’s Lord over every season.
