We’re excited to hear devotional thoughts from Pamela Polanco this week! You can learn more about her on the contributors page.
There was a season in my life when every day felt the same—heavy, exhausting, and filled with the same unanswered prayers. I was waiting for the day when life would feel light again. I thought, “If only this situation changes, then I will feel better.” But no matter how much I prayed, the struggle remained.
Though I hid it well, a lingering sadness remained within me. In a sense, it felt like my nights were endless.
Maybe you’ve been there too. Maybe you’re the woman who wakes up to a marriage that feels distant, wondering if things could truly change. Maybe you’re the single mom who collapses into bed, unsure if she can keep carrying the weight of it all. Maybe you’re battling infertility, watching others celebrate what you long for. Maybe your situation is different, but you feel entirely the same: depleted, overwhelmed, and hopeless.
We all face seasons where the night feels endless. Yet God’s promise remains true: “For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning” (Psalm 30:5).
For so long, I thought morning meant my circumstances would change. But God showed me something greater—sometimes, morning isn’t about a change in our situation; it’s about a change in our hearts. The sun still rises, even on stormy days. And even when nothing around me seemed better, I found that His presence was enough.
Your morning will come. Maybe it will be the answered prayer you’ve been waiting for—the restoration of a relationship, the provision you desperately need, or the healing you’ve longed for. Maybe it won’t come as a sudden breakthrough but as the steady strength that carries you through another day.
I don’t know exactly what your morning will look like, but I know this: it will come, because God’s promises are true.
I know that, ultimately, our greatest morning will be when we see Jesus face to face—where there will be no more tears, no more sorrow, and no more pain (Revelation 21:4).
So, what do we do in the waiting? We press forward. We stay in God’s Word, even when we don’t feel like it. We keep praying, even when the answers don’t come. We hold on to His Truth, even when our emotions waver. Those long nights are when our faith is tested, when we must remind ourselves—again and again—that God is working, even when we can’t see it.
Those long, weary nights are the ones where we remind ourselves: He’s never failed me.
Sister, don’t give up if you’re in a season of weeping. The morning is coming. And even now, God is near you as you wait!
