It is so difficult to keep our eyes fixed on Jesus when everything in our world seems to be spinning out of our control. During the chaos of shifting seasons, it’s easy to feel as though God is displeased with us. Oftentimes our response to feeling that way is to engage with God (and others) less. However, seasons of chaos are opportunities to grow in deeper communion with the Lord and to experience His goodness at even greater depths than before.
