Preparing for the Cold Seasons of Life

Week 43 — “Hard Seasons Don’t Mean God Left”

Scripture: “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” — Hebrews 13:5 (NIV)

Reflection: Hard times can make you feel forgotten or abandoned. But feelings don’t reflect truth — God stays close, even when your emotions say otherwise. He uses difficult seasons to deepen your roots and strengthen your faith. You are not alone, even when things feel heavy.

The Homestead Take Away: Winter may look lifeless, but beneath the surface everything is preparing for new growth. God is working even when you can't see it.

Prayer: Lord, remind me that You are near, especially in difficult seasons. Amen.
