There may come a time when you find yourself in a long wilderness season. It may seem
like you are circling your Promised Land, just as the Israelites did. You may feel like you are
close to realizing the promises God made to you, but you’re not sure how much longer you
have to wait.
Perhaps your season isn’t a hopeful one. You have spent years battling pain and grief. You
may be caring for elderly parents or chronically ill children or relatives. Maybe you, like the
woman with the issue of blood, are experiencing health challenges that are not improving.
You have seen doctors, specialist and experts, and you literally need a miracle.
While you are waiting for your season to change—for the fog to lift and the sun to shine
again—lean in even more to Jesus Christ, your lifeline. John 15:5 says we can’t do anything
without abiding in Him, and it is during these difficult seasons when we need to be
intentional about drawing our strength from Him.

Why We Do What We Do
"Dear Dr. Tony Evans,
I want to thank God for your heart and willingness to serve him. Today, I listened to your message, God Meets Your Emotional Needs, about being in the valley. Earlier in the morning, I prayed to have God speak to me through His Word, and when I heard your message today, it was exactly what I needed to hear. Sir, I look forward to hearing your message tomorrow."
—Richard
