“And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose.” Romans 8:28 

Life’s struggles don’t usually disappear overnight. Like peeling an onion, God removes layers of pain, fear, doubt, and disappointment one at a time. Each layer reveals a deeper truth, a hidden hurt, or an opportunity for growth. And though it may be painful at times, God is present in every step.

You may want immediate relief, but God desires lasting transformation. In His mercy, He works through each season—teaching, refining, and healing you as He prepares you for the blessings to come. His timing is perfect, and His process is full of grace. He doesn’t waste anything—even your struggles have purpose when surrendered to Him.

So don’t lose heart if you’re still in the process. Keep walking with Him. Trust His plan, even when it’s hard to understand. He is shaping your life for good, and His peace will guard your heart as you lean into His love.

Prayer:Heavenly Father, thank You for walking with me through every layer of my life. Even when it hurts, I trust You’re working for my good. Give me the patience and faith to follow You step by step. Help me to see Your hand in all things. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Reflection: What layer is God gently peeling away in your life right now? Surrender it to Him and let His peace fill your heart.

God bless you abundantly.
