For Everything, A Season

Written By Laticia Cunningham

Scripture:
“To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven.”
— Ecclesiastes 3:1 (KJV)

Encouraging Message:

Life unfolds in seasons—beautiful, messy, sometimes bittersweet chapters designed with intention and purpose. The hard part? Accepting when a season ends.

That includes relationships.

Some friendships are meant to stretch across decades. Others? They serve a divine purpose in a particular time and place. When those connections end, it can hurt deeply—especially if the ending wasn’t mutual or peaceful.

But here’s what I’ve learned: There’s wisdom in the goodbye.
Every person God allows into your life plays a role in your growth, even if that role comes with some pain. Whether they taught you patience, boundaries, joy, or resilience—they were part of your becoming.

Instead of mourning the loss, we can choose to reflect and give thanks.
“Lord, thank You for what they brought into my life. Thank You for what I’ve learned. I release them with peace.”

Because God never takes without preparing something new.
He’s not only the God of seasons—He’s the God of transition.
And with every shift, His love remains steady.

Sacred Shift:

When we learn to let go with gratitude instead of grief, we create space.
Space for new friendships. New grace. New growth.

If you’re in a season of letting go, trust that your next season is already aligning.

Reflection:

  • Think of a friendship or relationship that ended. What did it teach you?

  • How can you begin to embrace new seasons without fear or regret?

Journaling Prompt:

  • Write a prayer of gratitude for the friendships you’ve had—even the ones that ended.

  • Ask God to align your next season with people who will water your growth and reflect His love.

Closing Prayer:

Father, thank You for the seasons You’ve carried me through. I release any bitterness from relationships that have ended and receive the lessons with grace. Lead me into my next season with a heart ready to receive new connections, new purpose, and Your unchanging love.

In Jesus’ name, Amen.
