How to Get Through Hard Seasons

Brianne Erman

Over these past few months, I have walked through one of the toughest seasons of my life. My life went from the busiest it had ever been to being completely debilitated by an illness.

No one anticipates tough seasons. We never expect loss or heartbreak or sickness or sudden life events. God never promised us that things would always be easy but He did promise us His Presence through it all. NO weapon formed against us will prosper, that's a promise!

As you are walking through this tough season, let me ask you one question: are you giving yourself grace? Or are you finding yourself feeling weighed down by the standard that you have placed on yourself? As I have been navigating this tough season, I have realized that I had unrealistic expectations of myself.  I expected myself to be able to accomplish all that I was able to do prior to getting sick. I began beating myself up for needing to take time to rest and having go of a lot of obligations.

The truth is, when things change, things need to change.  We need to lower the bar. Lower the standard that we have placed on ourselves. We need to partner with God's rest and let HIM walk us through this season.

In this episode, I let y'all in on this last season of my life and all that God has been teaching me through it. 

I pray that no matter what season of life you are in that you would let the God of Peace lead you. That you would truly let go of all control and fully enter into the rest of trusting Him.
