It may appear that we are losing, but ultimately, goodness and glory can grow in the midst of a new beginning. Remember - no matter what our present circumstances may look like, no matter how difficult letting go might be -, with God, we win in the end. We can go to him boldly, because he tells us we can. We need not face anything without God’s help.

In the psalms, David gave us the perfect example of how to cry out to God in every conceivable manner, even in our anger, our anguish, and our anxiety.

Anytime we lose something or someone of great importance we experience a great sense of loss, even hopelessness. How do we effectively live in the midst of a new beginning that we didn’t expect, or even want? What can we do to give God glory when our circumstances are not only new, but also extremely painful? Anytime we let go of something old, there is discomfort, even pain. It can be excruciatingly difficult to walk through the doorway of a new season in life.
