At Year’s End
I’ve just finished transferring birthdays, anniversaries, reminder notes, etc., to my new calendar. I’ve thrown away my old calendar with a mixture of relief and sadness.
As I mentally walked through the past 365 days again, I was reminded of more than appointments and annual celebrations. I was reminded of what a turbulent year it has been for all of us. It has been a year of sad endings and happy beginnings, losses and gains, crying and laughing. It has certainly been an “Ecclesiastes 3” year. Many of us have experienced devastation, whether in the loss of loved ones, the loss of health, or the loss of material things.
Recently, I’ve pondered a question that’s been troubling me: How do you trust in an uncertain God—a God who doesn’t always come through for you in the way you had hoped?
The God who answers before I even call supplied some insight that both expressed my heart and quieted it (Isaiah 65:24).

About the Book
Have you ever been told to “just pray about it” as you wrestled with raw emotions and difficult circumstances? With empathy, honesty, and faith, While You Are Steeping invites you to not only pray but also to feel and heal.
Author Rebecca Pearce offers a series of devotionals that takes you on a journey through the ordinary challenges of daily living as well as the extraordinary battles with grief, loneliness, discontent, depression, and injustice. Reflecting Rebecca’s desire to see women connect with God right in the trenches of life, While You Are Steeping presents a compilation of insights she received from the Lord, providing clarity in the middle of her own trials.
Through each thought-provoking piece and the questions that follow, you’re encouraged to “steep” in the Lord’s presence and listen for His life-giving words. It is her prayer you will be inspired by her openness and will renew your faith and hope.
