When God feels distant, it means He’s teaching you.
This is something I learned. We often feel like God is far when He is still there.
He promised never to leave or forsake us (Hebrews 5-8). Often, these times of trial mean He’s growing you, teaching you, shaping you, equipping you for what’s to come, and your purpose.
He hasn’t left you, sis, but instead, He’s only teaching you. Often, God allows this season to enable you to LISTEN.
Instead of begging God for this season to go, dare yourself to ask Him this:
What do you want me to learn in this season?
What’s the purpose of this season?
These questions and prayers are great for this season. Remember to open your eyes and start listening to what God tells you.
These seasons can also grow you and your maturity in Christ and give you wisdom and experience from which you can learn and can give to others. Trials lead to testimonies, and we should remember every season has a purpose.
