WHEN HOPE FEELS FAR AWAY
By Jsheynation

One of the hardest things in life is trying to hold on to hope when everything around you feels like it’s falling apart. Disappointment whispers, “It will always be like this.” Frustration shouts, “What’s the point of trying again?” And sometimes… we secretly wish we could disappear and not feel the weight anymore.

But here’s what I’m learning—even in those moments, God is not absent. He’s closer than ever.

💔 “The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit.” — Psalm 34:18

There is no shame in being overwhelmed. There is no guilt in saying, “God, I’m tired.” What matters is that even with trembling hands, you reach for Him anyway.

If you’re reading this and your soul is heavy, I want you to know:
• You are not alone.
• This is not the end of your story.
• God still has plans, even when you feel like you have nothing left to give.

🌿 You may feel buried, but you’re being planted.
🌸 And what’s planted in faith will bloom again in time.

Don’t give up. One day, the very thing that tried to break you will be the reason you praise God louder than ever.

✨ You are still here. You are still chosen. And your next chapter is not canceled.

You're allowed to rest. You're allowed to heal.
Too many of us confuse burnout with failure. But strength also looks like sitting still, catching your breath, and choosing peace over pressure. You're allowed to rest.
You're allowed to heal.
Even God rested on the seventh day. So why are you afraid to?
It’s okay to take a break from your expectations just don’t quit .

This is for anyone who feels unseen or discouraged. I want you to know that God hasn’t forgotten you, and He is working behind the scenes for your good. Let me share this with you…

David didn’t submit a resume, but God told Samuel about him. He was overlooked by his own family, left in the field to tend the sheep while others stood before the prophet. Yet, God knew exactly where he was and what He had placed inside him. When the time was right, God spoke David’s name to Samuel and positioned him for greatness.

Be encouraged today! You may feel unseen or forgotten, but God knows your name and your location. You don’t have to strive for recognition or prove yourself to others because what God has for you is already prepared.

Just as God told Samuel about David, He can mention your name to the right person, at the right time, to open doors that no one can shut. Trust that your season is coming, and when it does, it will be undeniable. Stay faithful where you are, keep serving, and let God do the work of elevating you.

May God align everything in your life and connect you with someone who will take you to your NEXT level. Your moment is closer than you think.
