In just eight months, I faced two consecutive miscarriages and the death of my husband, Reggie. These profound and unexpected losses left me feeling adrift and deeply shaken. Life can indeed be unpredictable and tumultuous, often pushing us into uncertainty after significant, life-altering events. Whether it’s the loss of a loved one, a sudden job change, or a deep personal betrayal, such events can shake our faith and leave us feeling disconnected from God. However, even in our darkest moments, God is actively pursuing us, using a series of divine invitations to draw us closer to Him and help us rebuild our lives.
Even in the midst of profound loss and uncertainty, God is actively pursuing us, inviting us to experience His healing presence and rebuild our lives.
As humans, we often try to make sense of our experiences and understand the reasons behind certain events. Yet, when confronted with profound loss and pain, these questions can feel unanswerable, leaving us feeling overwhelmed and lost. The pain and confusion can cause us to withdraw, not only from the world around us but from our relationship with God. We may feel abandoned, questioning why a loving God would allow such suffering.
In my suffering, my spiritual life began to take a backseat as I struggled to cope with my new reality. You see, when Reggie was alive, we had a routine: Reggie would awaken first, spend time with God, and then wake me so we could pray together before he left for work. Afterward, I’d have my time with God.
Even in our darkest moments, God invites us to draw closer to Him, offering hope and healing through every challenge. Share on XAfter his death, Reggie’s absence disrupted my ability to pray and read the Bible, creating a gap that made God feel distant. This spiritual drifting is a common response to grief and trauma, but it’s during these moments that God’s pursuit becomes most evident.
