Sweet girl,
I know how easy it is to trust God when life is good.
When the sun is shining.
When the prayers are answered.
When the struggles belong to someone else.
But what about when life gets hard?
When the waiting feels endless?
When the loss is personal?
When you’re the one crying out, Will He? Can He? Is He listening? Does He even care?
Why is faith so simple when life is smooth — but so hard when it’s not?
I’ll tell you what that is. That is the enemy.
Satan whispers in our suffering:
God has forgotten you.
He hears everyone else but you.
If He really loved you, you wouldn’t be struggling like this.
And sadly, we believe it.
Because until you really know God — until you know His character — trusting Him feels impossible when the storms hit.
And if I’m being honest, it’s still hard when the storm hits.
So knowing Him is essential, because storms will come.
But here’s what I need you to remember:
✨ God is the same in the storm as He was in the sunshine.
✨ God is the same in the silence as He was in the answered prayer.
✨ God is the same in your doubt as He was in your faith.
🌿 Your Mess Is Your Message
In the self-help world, they say, “Your mess is your message.”
The idea is simple — you don’t have to have it all figured out. You just have to be one step ahead of the person you’re encouraging. Share your story. Tell your truth.
And funny thing… did you know the Bible is one big, beautiful mess — and yet it’s the greatest message of hope the world has ever known?
Ironic, isn’t it?
Or is it?
I think it’s clear — it’s God, and His message for you and for me.
A message of overcoming.
A message of love.
A message of creation and redemption.
And do you know what it tells us?
It tells us we were created to be exactly who we are.
We are worthy just as we are.
God sees us.
We don’t have to perform for His love.
We don’t have to exaggerate to be heard.
We don’t have to earn our place at His table.
The world tells us that if we slow down, we’ll fall behind.
The world tells us that if we stop proving ourselves, we’ll disappear.
But God?
God moves at the pace of love — not hurry.
God sees us even in the quiet.
💭 A Question to Journal On
Have you ever felt like your faith was shaken when life got hard?
What brought you back to trust?
🙏 A Prayer for Trusting God in the Hard Seasons
Father,
You are so easy to praise when life is good.
But when the storms come, doubt creeps in.
Remind me, Lord, that You are unchanging.
That my circumstances do not dictate Your goodness.
That my struggles are not proof of Your absence.
Help me to trust You in the silence.
In the unknown.
In the waiting.
When the enemy whispers lies, let Your truth be louder.
I don’t want a faith that’s only strong in the sunshine —
I want a faith that can withstand the storm.
Amen.
With love,
Worthy
