Wednesday Devotional: When the Season Feels Heavy
📖 “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.”— Psalm 34:18
I’ve been in a bit of a funk lately. The kind that sneaks in with the shorter days, the colder weather, and the change of season. It’s like someone flipped a switch and suddenly everything feels a little heavier, a little slower, and a lot harder to push through.
And to be honest, discipline has been a real fight this past week — especially with running. The drive hasn’t been there. The spark isn’t hitting. The miles feel harder than they should. Seasonal depression has a way of dulling even the things you normally love.
But here’s the truth:
God sees every bit of this.
And He meets you right in the middle of it.
He’s not disappointed.
He’s not surprised.
He’s not shaking
His head at your struggle.
He draws close.
He strengthens.
He lifts.
This season won’t last forever. Your motivation will return. Your joy will rise again. Your legs will feel lighter. Your discipline will find its rhythm. But right now, you don’t have to pretend you’re firing on all cylinders.
You just need to keep showing up — even in small ways. A short run. A walk. A prayer. A breath.Tiny steps still move you forward.And God honors every single one.
🕊️Reflection & Prayer
Reflection:Where am I feeling the weight of this season the most — mentally, physically, spiritually? And what small act of faithfulness can I commit to today, even if my energy is low?
Prayer:Lord, meet me in this funk. Lift the heaviness that’s settled over my spirit. Give me strength where I’m weak, motivation where I’m drained, and peace where I feel overwhelmed. Help me take small, steady steps even when discipline feels hard. Remind me that this season will pass and that You are with me in every mile, every moment, and every struggle.
