🍂 When the Season Slows You Down

🍂 When the Season Slows You Down

Scripture Anchor:
"To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven." — Ecclesiastes 3:1 (KJV)

Devotional Message:
There are seasons when the world feels slower—when your body aches for rest, your spirit longs for quiet, and your hands pause between tasks. These moments are not signs of failure or delay. They are invitations. God often speaks in the stillness, not the storm. He whispers through falling leaves, soft sunsets, and the hush between responsibilities.

When the season slows you down, let it. Let it cradle you. Let it remind you that even Jesus withdrew to quiet places. That restoration is holy. That comfort is not laziness—it’s preparation. You are not behind. You are being held. And in this gentle pause, your legacy is still unfolding.

Prayer:
Lord, thank You for the gift of slow seasons. Help me receive rest without guilt, and listen for Your voice in the quiet. Let my heart be still enough to hear Your comfort, and my hands open enough to receive Your peace. Amen.

Reflection Prompt:

• What does rest look like for you right now?

• Are there places in your life where slowing down feels uncomfortable or unsafe?

• How might God be inviting you to pause, reflect, or simply be?
