Can God still use your life… even in the middle of pain?
In this FOUND in Focus devotional, Lorie Hartshorn reflects on the powerful promise of Romans 8:28, that God is working in all things, even the seasons we don’t understand. So often, we assume purpose begins once life feels stable, clear, and put together. But what about the moments marked by struggle, uncertainty, disappointment, or circumstances we never would have chosen?
The truth is God is not waiting for your life to be perfect before He works through it. Even in seasons that feel heavy or lacking, He is still present, still moving, and still weaving purpose into your story. Nothing is wasted in His hands. This devotion is an invitation to trust God in the middle of pain, to believe that your identity is deeper than your circumstances, and to hold onto hope when life feels like “deficit.” Even now, God is working redemption, shaping your story, and drawing you closer to Him.
If you’re walking through a difficult season, be reminded today: your pain does not disqualify your purpose. God is still at work.
