Endurance in New Seasons: Trusting God Through Broken Dreams

📖 Introduction

Embracing endurance during life’s unexpected transitions can be especially challenging in retirement. Dreams and plans we have cherished for decades may shift or fade, leaving us feeling uncertain or even broken. Yet, God invites us to trust Him anew when our hopes seem unfulfilled or when we find ourselves in unfamiliar seasons.

In this 5-day study, we will walk together through Scripture and reflection to discover how endurance is not just about holding on tightly to what was, but learning to embrace what God is doing now. Retirement can bring a season of loss, rest, reflection, and often new opportunities, but it also can awaken questions and feelings of grief over shattered dreams.

Throughout these days, we will encounter biblical heroes who endured through hardships, discovered God’s purpose in unexpected ways, and learned to hope beyond immediate circumstances. With open hearts, we will explore how God’s strength empowers us to persevere, how His promises anchor our souls, and how trust in Him can transform brokenness into new beginnings.

God’s faithfulness doesn’t waver, and neither will His plans for your life—even when former dreams fade. Together, let us invite Him to cultivate endurance in our spirits, to renew our hope, and to lead us into meaningful, joyful new seasons of purpose and growth.
