If I’m honest, this week has felt like a mess. Emotionally, spiritually, mentally—just messy. And I know I’m not the only one. Life doesn’t always come wrapped in neat little packages with pretty bows. Sometimes it looks like unanswered prayers, a tired body, a hurting heart, or a brain full of questions that don’t have easy answers.
But here’s what I’m learning: God isn’t waiting for us to clean everything up before He steps in. He meets us in the middle of it.
“God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.” – Psalm 46:1 (ESV)
Some days I don’t feel holy or hopeful. I just feel human. And I think God understands that better than we give Him credit for. Scripture is full of people in messy situations: Hannah weeping in the temple. Job losing everything and sitting in the ashes. Peter denying Jesus. Paul begging for a thorn to be taken away.
And still—God didn’t walk away from them. He doesn’t walk away from us either.
“My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” – 2 Corinthians 12:9 (ESV)
What a relief to know I don’t have to be strong all the time. That God isn’t asking me to have it all together. He’s simply asking me to come to Him—even if all I have to offer are tears, questions, or silence.
Lately, I’ve been trying to look for God in the mess instead of waiting for Him on the other side of it. And you know what? I’m starting to see Him more clearly—through the kind words of a friend, in a moment of unexpected peace, in a verse I didn’t even know I needed. Sometimes He doesn’t fix the storm… He just sits with us in the boat.
“The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit.” – Psalm 34:18 (ESV)
If your life feels a little upside down right now, know this: You’re not alone. God isn’t scared off by your broken pieces. He’s the One who gently holds them and says, “I can work with this.”
So today, I’m choosing to believe He’s here—even in the chaos. Especially in the chaos. And that’s more than enough for me.
Win The Day!
