A Foggy Season
Beloved,
I would like to share with you what I feel God wants to tell us in this foggy and confusing season.
Many of you may feel uncertain about what you are supposed to be doing for Jesus in this moment. Nothing seems to make sense, and there appears to be no clear direction. For some, it may feel as though God is silent or not revealing anything.
I want to encourage you—do not be discouraged or feel as though you have lost your way. God is doing something new! The way we have operated in and for His kingdom is shifting. It will not look like anything we have seen or experienced before. God is reshaping us and renewing our understanding of how to serve Him.
However, this requires us to go deeper with Him—staying close through prayer, the Word, and worship. Be careful! The enemy is using this foggy season to steal from us, trying to convince us that something is wrong simply because we do not feel or hear God clearly. This is a trap! But take heart—God is at work behind the scenes as we surrender and submit to Him and His ways.
If you have withdrawn from God and are not spending time with Him, I encourage you to push back and draw near to Him again. Do not allow distance to grow between you and His presence. This is imperative, we will be inadequately prepared for the next season if we do not stay close to Jesus now.
From my own personal journey in this season, I can tell you that I receive very little instruction from God right now. I have to intentionally ignore the taunts of the enemy, even when I do not know where I am going or what I am supposed to be doing. But one thing I do know—it is time to fill myself with His Word and worship Him with my whole heart. I choose to believe that He knows exactly what He is doing in me and through me. I trust that, in His perfect timing, He will reveal where I need to be and what I need to do.
For now, my role is to surrender to this season and stay close to Him. This is not a time to lean on my own understanding. Instead, let us hold fast to this truth from Proverbs 3:5-6:
“Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to Him, and He will make your paths straight.”
As I write this, the Holy Spirit has reminded me of a time when I had to fly to Cape Town for a workshop. During the flight, we were soaring over the ocean when, suddenly, we entered thick fog. I didn’t like it at all—it made me feel uneasy.
Then, the Holy Spirit spoke to my heart and said: “When it is foggy around you and you cannot see, just keep moving forward. Do not get distracted by the fog, do not change direction—just press on, and soon you will come through it and see clearly again.”
This lesson has stayed with me. In seasons of confusion, when I don’t understand what’s happening, I have learned to keep moving—not diverting or taking on anything new until the fog lifts. This has protected me from making major mistakes where the enemy has tried to derail me.
Listen—it is in the quiet that God is moving in us. When we sit and soak in worship music, allowing it to wash over us… when we marvel at a breathtaking sunset or the beauty of nature… when we simply reflect on Jesus and His goodness—our spirits are being filled, and God is at work within us.
This is not a time to strive or perform in order to hear from God. I have spent years in a daily routine of seeking Him—going to my prayer room, worshiping, waiting on the Lord, and praying. But recently, the Holy Spirit interrupted me. He said, “No, just sit here. Paint. Listen to worship. Simply BE with Me.”
He reminded me of how my husband and I sometimes sit together—aware of each other, present with each other, yet not always needing words. That is how He wants to spend time with me.
God is speaking in the quiet, in peace, and in rest. This is not a season of striving or “doing”—it is a season of simply being with Him.
Beloved, stay steadfast with Jesus. Do not lose heart—just keep going. God is at work in you, preparing the way ahead.
For now, let us hold fast to 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18:
“Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.”
Trust in His process, remain in His presence, and keep your eyes on Him. He is faithful!
Let us pray
Father, I come to You in the name of Jesus, dedicating this foggy season to You. Right now, nothing makes sense—I feel confused and unsettled—but I surrender it all to You. I trust in Your will and Your way for my life.
Forgive me for my anxiety and for withdrawing from You, thinking I had done something wrong or that You were angry with me. Today, I choose to step back, rest in Your presence, and allow You to guide me daily—leading me in how You want to spend time with me and where You want my focus to be.
Holy Spirit, thank You for being my teacher and guide. Help me to embrace what You are showing me in this season. Have Your way in me, and grant me the peace to trust in Your perfect plan.
Thank You, Abba Father, for Your endless mercy and grace. I choose to rejoice always, pray continually, and give thanks in all circumstances (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18). Holy Spirit, write this truth on my heart so that I may live by it every day.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
