I can remember a time in my life when I thought certain seasons in my life God was nowhere to be found. I felt so alone, broken, unwanted, and unloved. I couldn’t imagine why the toughest seasons in my life seemed that God was far from me. I was angry because all I wanted to do was feel His presence. Although I learned that it was not that God was far from me, it was that I was not leaning closer to Him.

“My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness, for when I am weak, then I am strong.” – 2 Corinthians 12:9-10

God was in every season of my life no matter what it looked like. However, it was a matter of whether or not I would lean in closer and allow Him to work through me. I was so hurt that I didn’t allow Him to do the healing He needed to do in me. It is easy to praise God in the easy stuff. But, can I praise Him when everything is far from right? I had to ask myself this question and really be honest about my answer.

“I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstance.” – Philippians 4:11

God's promises still stand. God is in the details. He is in the pain, lost, heartbreak, addiction, drug abuse, etc. He doesn’t shy away from a challenge. God has called us to be women and men of God. He can use every dysfunction we think we have. God is in that season where it would be easier to die than to get up and endure the pain another day. God is in that season where the blessings are flowing left and right and every prayer you’ve prayed has come to pass. God is right there the whole time.

“GOD IS IN EVERY SEASON”

Here’s my prayer for you tonight: I pray you never lose heart. I pray when the enemy leans close, you lean into the arms of your heavenly father. When life seems to be knocking you down to the point you can’t even pray for yourself, I pray love washes over your life. When you lose hope that God would make Himself known. I pray you lean really close into the details of your God. I pray you experience His love in every season like never before. I pray you abide in the One who never changes.
