This elderly woman’s words of wisdom will encourage and inspire you. She shares a powerful message about life’s many seasons and navigating them when they are less-than-pleasant and even downright painful. Watch the short but powerful clip to hear her moving, uplifting words of wisdom.

Sadly, life is not always an entirely delightful experience. Not every situation you face will make you feel warm and fuzzy. In fact, there will be instances that will hurt and result in immense heartache. I’m sorry if I burst your bubble if you, for some reason, thought otherwise. But let’s be honest, it was either going to be me or life because we all do and will encounter circumstances that are unpleasant and painful.

Anyone who has ever endured a challenging and gut-wrenching situation knows all too well that they can often feel as if they will never end. However, eventually, those seasons pass, which is always hard to remember and consider when in the middle of it. However, a clip posted on social media reminds us of the hope and belief we can hold onto when we’re in a painful, difficult season.

In the video, the older woman shares some words of wisdom and advice that we should all remember and implement whenever we encounter difficulties or trials.

“We should not live in fear or panic over the season we’re in because there’s a new season right around the corner, right around the corner,” she says. “The Bible says in several places, ‘It came to pass.’ And I believe that, I believe everything comes to pass because I’ve been through so many seasons in my life.”

Later in the clip, the woman stresses avoiding panicking or worrying when encountering challenging seasons. She also mentions how fear and panic are popular tools in the evil one’s arsenal against Christians.

“The devil uses fear to absolutely war against us, to torment us,” she said. “God is not a god of torment. So, y’all have a wonderful evening. Just rejoice in the fact that you’re still alive. You may be in a bad season right now, but you’re fixing to come out of it.”
