What Is God Teaching Me in This Season? One step at a time.
What Is God Teaching Me in This Season?
One step at a time.
Do you ever feel like you’re trying to do everything at once? Like you have a hundred tabs open in your brain — yet despite having so much going on, you feel counterproductive when you’re trying to be the complete opposite?
That’s exactly where I found myself. And when the Lord spoke “one step at a time” over me, it completely shifted my perspective on life — how I do things, how I view things, and how I measure progress. It reminded me that this life isn’t a race.
This isn’t to say sit back, relax, and it will all magically happen for you. You still have to put the work in. But mindfully working on one thing at a time gives you far more progress than trying to tackle everything at once and never finishing anything. Rome wasn’t built in a day.
Breaking old habits is one of my ins for 2026.
That starts with forming new thinking patterns — repetitively practicing new ways of thinking.
For example, if you start telling yourself “I’m someone who reads” while consistently making reading part of your day, your thoughts and actions begin to align. Old neuropathways are broken, and what once felt forced slowly becomes natural. The goal you once struggled to reach becomes a habit.
Remember, you’re not alone in this. God is always speaking to us — it’s up to us to listen and take note. He isn’t going to do it for us, but we have the Holy Spirit — our intercessor — who helps us discern, guides us, and gently corrects us along the way.
God is also teaching me that some of the best things happen in the waiting season.
In wilderness seasons, you can feel tried, tested, tired, and tempted to do things your own way. But it’s often in the wilderness that we begin to acquire the fruits of the Spirit — patience, self-control, gentleness.
God’s voice is still and small. If we go to our room, close the door, and ask Him to meet us there, more often than not, He is already waiting.
Recently, after a period of questioning and doubting my faith, I had been travelling Asia for a few weeks. I came home down bad with jet lag and PMS. I went into my room, closed the door, and just wept before the Lord.
Since being baptised, this was the furthest I had ever felt from God — ironically, I was in the process of launching a faith-based business and my boyfriend felt closer to God than ever. (The enemy is a schemer.)
But God met me.
I experienced a peace so pure it was euphoric — better than any drug I’d ever taken, better than anything humanly possible. He reminded me that He is the one true God.
Looking back, if I hadn’t gone through that patch of doubt and trial, would I have experienced such a supernatural encounter? Through that waiting season, He picked me up yet again, and I grew just a little deeper in my identity in Christ.
God is also teaching me that while we may not always understand Scripture fully, His Word should be a fundamental part of how we live.
During my season of doubt, there were parts of the Bible I struggled with. But trying to understand everything back to front as humans is impossible. Only God sees the full picture. Our role is to allow Him to sculpt and guide us — moment by moment, day by day.
It’s easier that way. Trust me. I’ve tried it without Him — and I know which one I’d choose every time.
Being a Christian isn’t easy.
It’s not all flowers, rainbows, and sunshine.
It’s surrender. It’s crucifying your flesh daily. It’s wanting something with your whole mind, body, and soul — yet choosing obedience when God tells you His plan is better.
I know something probably just came to mind for you:
But how will I cope emotionally? Financially? Practically?
It’s rarely clear. That’s why taking a leap of faith feels terrifying — but it’s also why it’s so deeply rewarding.
There have been so many times I’ve wanted to run away from new challenges and return to old ways of living, toxic relationships, or familiar comforts. But the times I’ve pushed through anyway — despite fear — have brought the biggest breakthroughs. Those moments have led to blessings that could only have come from God.
He knows the bigger plan. We do not.
“Commit your way to the Lord; trust also in Him, and He will do it.
He will bring forth your righteousness as the light, and your judgment as the noonday.”
Psalm 37:5–6
If you’re in a waiting season — feeling overwhelmed, doubtful, or tired — God has not left you.
He is still speaking.
One step at a time is still obedience.
And sometimes, it’s in the waiting that we bloom the most.
Love,
