Let’s be real—life doesn’t always make sense. Sometimes it hits you so hard, you wonder if you’ll ever feel whole again.
I’ve been there.
There was a season in my life where everything I leaned on crumbled. Relationships broke. Finances dried up. I felt invisible to the world—and honestly, I started to wonder if God had gone quiet too. Maybe you’ve had a season like that. Maybe you’re in one right now.
But in the middle of all that heartbreak and confusion, one truth stood out and carried me through:
God is still good, even when life is not.
It didn’t come to me like a lightning bolt. It came softly—through Scripture, through prayer, through the quiet moments when all I could do was breathe and whisper, “God, I need You.”
Let me walk you through what that season looked like, and how this one truth became my anchor when everything else was shifting.
When Life Doesn’t Add Up
I remember waking up one morning, staring at the ceiling, and thinking, “I don’t even know what to pray anymore.” Maybe you’ve had a morning like that.
It felt like every area of my life had taken a hit. I was overwhelmed, exhausted, and so full of questions. Why now? Why me? Why does it feel like God is silent?
And then I opened my Bible to Romans 8:28:
“And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose.”
It didn’t say all things feel good. It didn’t say all things are good. But it did say that God works in all things for good.
That verse became my lifeline. Even in the chaos, I clung to it.
The Silence Doesn’t Mean He’s Gone
For weeks, I didn’t feel God’s presence. My prayers felt like they bounced off the walls.
But you know what I learned? Feelings are not the same as truth.
God’s presence is not dependent on my emotions. Just because I didn’t feel Him didn’t mean He wasn’t right there beside me.
Psalm 34:18 says:
“The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.”
That means in my lowest moments, He wasn’t far—He was closer than ever.
Healing Isn’t Instant—And That’s Okay
I wanted to rush through the pain. I wanted to fast-forward to the part where everything was okay again. But healing, especially the kind that God does deep inside your soul, takes time.
And that’s not a punishment—it’s a process of restoration.
Isaiah 61:3 tells us that God gives beauty for ashes, joy instead of mourning, praise instead of despair. But first, we have to bring Him the ashes. The mourning. The despair.
I started doing that. Bit by bit. And little by little, peace started to return.
Worship in the Wilderness
It felt weird to praise God when I was in pain, but that’s what I did. Not perfectly, but honestly.
Some days, I couldn’t sing. So I just whispered, “Thank You.” Not because everything was good, but because I knew He was still good.
Worship didn’t change my circumstances—but it changed me. It reminded my soul who was still in charge.
Even in the desert, God is still worthy.
The Truth That Carried Me
When everything else was shaken—health, finances, relationships—the truth that stayed steady was this:
God never changes.
Hebrews 13:8 says:
“Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.”
That means the same God who walked with Moses, comforted Ruth, and stood with Paul in prison… is the same God who’s walking with you and me.
And that truth? That’s what held me together when everything else felt like it was falling apart.
Final Thoughts: You’re Gonna Get Through This
Friend, if you’re in a hard season right now, I want to wrap my arms around you with this truth:
You are not forgotten. You are not alone. And this storm will not last forever.
Cling to the truth that God is still good. Even now. Especially now.
He’s working behind the scenes. He sees your tears. He’s catching every one.
And if you just hold on, you’ll see—there is purpose in the pain, and beauty on the other side.
“Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning.” — Psalm 30:5
