If everything feels so hard right now, and you wonder how or even if things will ever improve, I get it. I’ve been in places where it was hard to get out of bed and face the day. I’ve had times when I just wanted to sleep so I wouldn’t have to face my problems or deal with the day.
While I don’t have the exact answer to fix all of your problems, I do know the ONE who does.
God understands the pleas of our hearts when we don’t have the words to explain what we feel. God is the HOPE amid our hopelessness. He’s the anchor in our storms.
Sweet friends, we can’t get to the elevation without the transformation.
Sometimes, we pray for help because we don’t like our situation, and things worsen. Although it doesn’t feel good when God shakes things up in our lives and pulls us out of our comfort zone, it is what we need to be able to grow and be in a position for God to answer our prayers.
God is working on us even if it seems like everything is falling apart. He is getting us ready to receive the blessing. God does things in order. If He gives us the blessing before we are ready, it could cause more harm to us than good.
So, when the storms rage all around us, we need to remember who controls them. God is with us through it all. He doesn’t want to destroy us but to transform us. God wants us to become the best versions of ourselves.
I know it’s hard to lean in when we feel pain, but that is what it takes to grow through our hardships. Lean into God, the scriptures, and prayer.
We know only a fraction of it all. We make decisions based on what we see and understand. But God makes decisions based on infinite wisdom and understanding. God can see it all. When I look at it like that I know I can trust God to do what is best for me.
