I am always so thankful when God sends reminders my way that in the midst of all of the chaos, He has never left, and He is sending me just what I need for each and every day. When plans go awry, when the answer seems to just be silence, when I get caught up in my own wishes and desires.

It may be a gorgeous sunrise that takes my mind off of the lack of sleep that’s left me dragging.

It may be a request from Peanut for “fishy kisses” in the middle of a day where I feel totally inadequate as a parent.

It may be a simple text or a conversation with a friend that makes me feel less alone in the struggle and reminds me to continue to focus on Him and His will.

I had one of those moments yesterday, and as always, it was in His perfect timing.

In all seasons, we need to remember that He will give us the grace we need to weather the storm or praise the victories. And even if His answer is “no” or “wait” or simply silence, there is always an answer. And a beautiful reason for it. He will provide. It’s our job to trust and to try our best to open our hearts. It’s not always easy to just sit in the circumstances that are causing us to rely solely on His grace, but it is worth it to strengthen your reliance on Him and allow His plan to take shape.
