Life is full of trials. Some days are hard. Some seasons feel like they will never end. But I want to encourage you today. Don’t ever give up on God. No matter what you are going through, God is always willing to save us from all our troubles and afflictions.
When you are going through trials, that is actually the best time to draw closer to God. Not a time to run away. Not a time to lose hope. It is a time to press in. No situation is too hard for Him, and no problem is too big for His hands.
Why You Should Draw Closer to God During Difficult Times
Many people pull away from God when life gets hard. But that is the opposite of what you should do. The Bible reminds us that God is close to the brokenhearted. He does not abandon us in our pain. He moves toward us. And when we draw closer to God, He draws closer to us.
If you are going through trials right now, facing challenges that feel too heavy to carry, or waiting on divine intervention in your life, God sees you. He has not forgotten you. And He is more than able to rescue you.
How to Draw Closer to God: 5 Practical Things You Can Do Today
If you are wondering how to draw closer to God during a difficult season, here are five practical steps you can start doing today.
1. Study the Word of God
Open your Bible. Read it slowly. Let the scriptures speak directly to your situation. God’s Word is alive and it has answers for everything you are facing. The more you read it, the stronger your faith becomes.
2. Pray More
When things are hard, pray more, not less. Prayer is how you communicate with God. Talk to Him like He is right there with you, because He is. Tell Him everything you are feeling. He is listening and He cares deeply about every detail of your life.
3. Have a Quiet Time with God
Find a quiet place, be still, and spend time in His presence. No noise, no distractions. Just you and God. That stillness is where you hear His voice the most. Make this a daily habit, especially during trials and challenges.
4. Listen to Preachers of the Word
Surround yourself with sound teaching. Listen to men and women of God who preach the truth of scripture. Let their words build your faith and remind you of who God is and what He is capable of doing in your life.
5. Listen to Gospel Songs
There is something powerful about worship music. When words fail you, let a song carry your prayer. Gospel songs have a way of lifting your spirit, shifting your perspective, and reminding your heart of the goodness of God.
Challenges Are Part of Life, But You Don’t Have to Face Them Alone
Let me be honest with you. Challenges are part of life. Everyone faces them. The young and the old, the rich and the poor. Nobody is exempt. But here is what I want you to understand. There are some challenges that are completely beyond your control.
No amount of planning, working, or worrying will fix them. And that is not a sign of weakness. That is just the reality of living in this world.
So what do you do when you reach that point?
You hand it over to God. You let go of it, you place it in His hands, and you depend on Him totally to show you a way of escape. Because He will. God is faithful, and He has never failed anyone who truly trusted Him with their situation.
Divine Intervention Is Available to You
This post is written specifically for people who are facing trials and challenges and need divine intervention. If that is you today, I want you to know that God is near. He is not far from you. He sees everything you are going through.
Draw closer to God. That is the word for you today.
Don’t give up. Don’t lose hope. Don’t walk away from God just because life got hard. Run to Him. He is waiting with open arms.
“The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” Psalm 34:18
God bless you.
