God’s Strength in Hard Seasons

Have you ever endured a hard season and you know without a shadow of doubt that it was truly God’s strength that carried you through? God’s strength and grace can be just enough provision to traverse seasons that feel like continuous hardships and being stretched to capacity. I can attest that God is giving me strength to conquer each day as I am in a season that is stretching my capacity. Stretching every part of me from my mental bandwidth to my willingness to be obedient. There are days when my prayer is simply, Lord give me strength to endure this day. Being the loving and gracious God that He is, He answers that prayer each and every time. He answers that prayer just as promptly as the Lord if this person is not meant for me please remove them prayer.

I maintain the perspective that God is in my today and tomorrow, that He has gone before me and assigned provision for each step in my journey. Meaning that He is not surprised by this season nor the fact that it would stretch my strength beyond my human capacity, so therefore I have no choice but to depend on Him. We are made to feel the gravity of human emotions and vulnerabilities when we are facing strenuous seasons. He designed us this way and it is why we need His strength in the midst of it all. You can anchor yourself in the fact that you are equipped to overcome the hard seasons in life. In the moments when you feel your human strength has reached its max, trust that God’s strength will uphold you.

Joy Gem: Isaiah 40:29-31 NIV | “He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.”
