Seasons not only break the monotony of sameness, they are necessary for productivity. Nothing can live in unbroken sunshine…Nonstop sunshine only creates a desert. We don’t enjoy storms, but they’re an essential part of a complete life, and the key to victory comes in finding how to weather the storms of life in such a way that they don’t dislodge us from our secret life in God.

When times get tough, it’s tempting to neglect the secret place. Jesus, however, manifested precisely the opposite tendency. When He was hurting, He sought out the place of prayer. ‘And being in agony, He prayed more earnestly.” (Luke 22:44)
