This Too Shall Pass

Some chapters of life feel so long and heavy that we struggle to imagine the other side of them.


The phone call that changed everything. The marriage that is hanging by a thread. The diagnosis you were not prepared for. The child you are still praying for. The grief that sits quietly in your chest even on the good days. If you are in one of those seasons right now — I want you to know something. This too shall pass.


When the Storm Feels Permanent

One of the greatest lies the enemy whispers in our hardest moments is this: "It will always be this way." And when you are exhausted, when you have prayed the same prayer for what feels like the hundredth time, when hope feels distant and your strength is gone — that lie can feel very convincing. But God's Word tells us something different. "For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal." — 2 Corinthians 4:17–18 Your circumstances are temporary. His promises are not.


The Anchor That Holds

As women who have walked with God through decades of life, we know this to be true — not just as theology, but as lived experience.  We have survived things we thought would break us. We have stood at gravesides and still found grace. We have walked through betrayal and found restoration. We have faced the unknown and discovered that God was already there. Christ within you is not just a comforting thought — He is your anchor. Colossians 1:27 reminds us that it is "Christ in you, the hope of glory." Not Christ beside you. Not Christ watching from a distance. Christ. In. You. That means when the storm rages — He is already inside the boat.


Staying Calm in the Storm

Choosing peace in the middle of chaos is not denial. It is not pretending everything is fine. It is a declaration — a bold, faith-filled statement that says: "I am not alone in this. God is with me, He is for me, and He will see me through." That declaration is an act of warfare. It silences the voice of fear. It reminds your soul of what your circumstances are trying to make you forget. Peace is not the absence of the storm. It is the presence of God in the middle of it.


Be the Light in Someone Else's Storm

And here is the beautiful thing about walking through hard seasons with your faith intact — you become a beacon for someone else. Your 50+ woman friend who just received a difficult diagnosis needs to see you standing. Your daughter navigating a painful marriage needs to witness your unshakeable faith. Your neighbour who does not yet know God needs to see that there is something — Someone — different about how you face your storms. You carry the light of Jesus. Even in your own darkness — perhaps especially in your own darkness — that light shines. How can you be a source of hope for someone else today? Send an encouraging message to a friend who is struggling Pray specifically for someone in a storm of their own Share your testimony — even just one sentence of how God has carried you Simply show up and sit with someone who needs to know they are not alone.


A Prayer for the Passing Season

Lord, In this season that feels heavy and uncertain, I choose to anchor myself in You. I will not give in to fear. I will not believe the lie that this is permanent. I fix my eyes on what is unseen — on Your promises, Your faithfulness, and Your presence that never leaves me. You have carried me before. You are carrying me now. And You will carry me through. This too shall pass — and when it does, I will stand on the other side as a testimony of Your grace. In Jesus' name. Amen.


Friend, whatever storm you are walking through today — you are not alone, you are not forgotten, and you are not finished. God is still on the throne. And this too shall pass. Are you walking through a difficult season right now? I would love to walk alongside you.

When Prayer is Quiet Obedience

By Zanthia Berkelmann • May 9, 2026
Sometimes prayer is not loud declarations or lengthy intercessions. Sometimes it is simply saying "yes" to God when everything in you wants to say "not yet." This post explores what it means to pray through quiet surrender — and why obedience itself can be the most powerful prayer you will ever offer.

By Zanthia Berkelmann • April 1, 2026
Every season of life brings its own uncertainties — transitions you did not choose, changes you were not ready for, and chapters that ended before you felt finished. But what if the changing season is not a sign that God has forgotten you — but evidence that He is moving you forward?

Joy comes in the Morning

By Zanthia Berkelmann • August 6, 2020
Joy comes in the morning From June onward last year, I kept having a thought that filled my heart with joy and renewed hope—“Next year this time, I will hold our new bundle of joy.” It was more than a passing wish; it was a deep, faith-filled expectation, a glimpse of God’s promise for our family. Then, in mid-October, we received the exciting news—my daughter Josie was pregnant! We were overjoyed and amazed at how quickly it had happened. And so, the next season of prayerful waiting began—the gender reveal. I was convinced it would be a boy. In my small, human way of thinking, I assumed God wouldn’t give us another girl again. But how little I understood His ways! It was a girl! How often do we try to predict God’s plans, only to be reminded that His thoughts are higher than ours? As the months went by, however, fear tried to creep in. Again and again, I had to surrender my anxieties and declare, “Lord, I choose to trust You.” Then, in the final trimester, doctors discovered a complication that should have been noticed much earlier. The initial news was overwhelming for both the parents and me, but after consulting with a doctor friend, we were reassured. A conversation with my best friend, whose daughter had faced the same diagnosis just a year earlier, gave me even more peace and clarity. She encouraged me not to let fear cloud my faith. Instead of spreading worry, I chose to keep it in prayer and trust our Heavenly Father. And in that trust, I found total peace about Penelope’s well-being. Then, on June 6th, just a day after my birthday, our beautiful rainbow baby, Penelope, was born—perfect, whole, lacking nothing. This journey reminded me that when we ask God for something, we often expect a smooth and easy process. But faith isn’t just about receiving the promise—it’s about growing through the journey. God builds our trust, strengthens our character, and deepens our dependence on Him. It’s like a birthing experience—sometimes painful, sometimes uncertain, but ultimately, leading to something beautiful. If you’re an expecting mother or facing uncertainty in pregnancy, hold onto faith. God knows the baby He is bringing into your life, and He will equip you for every step ahead.

What is God Saying...And Prayer for this Season

By Zanthia Berkelmann • March 16, 2020
This morning as I was preparing myself for quiet time, I just felt the Lord was saying: “Take heart my people, I am with you, and I go before you. This too will pass. I am the Lord your God, who uphold heaven and earth and surely will uphold you with my right hand. Do not fear! You are in the world, but not of the world. Do not allow the yoke of heaviness that the world wants to place upon you overtake you. Stand therefor strong in the promises of the Almighty God. Be strong and courageous, very courageous – for fear will and has swiped through the lands. Stand on my word and promises – I am with you. Do not let the voices of the world make you tremble, for you are in me and I in you. Hold firm to your faith. I am greater and beyond this – you know this – so stand firm in your faith.” How comforting to know that we as believers can stand secure in our Lord Jesus Christ. We do not have to give in to fear, or despair, for He is with us. The enemy wants to incite fear and panic. Let’s look to Him for guidance and counsel – the author and finisher of our faith. What enemy intends for harm; God will use for good. I have written a simple prayer to pray in this challenging and uncertain times. Download it here . Let us stand together in prayer and trust God to do the impossible. Be Blessed

Take Time to Validate, Inspire and Encourage

By Zanthia Berkelmann • February 23, 2020
The other night driving home from visiting my daughter, I was thinking and reflecting on Valentines Day. Earlier that day and every year, I smile at the many men who take time out and pop into the flower shop to get flowers for their partners. On this day you do not see any women in the store other than those serving and making up those bouquets. I look at the men, looking very serious and concentrated, getting the perfect bunch together, walking out proudly with their pick — hoping their partners will receive their romantic gesture with gratitude, appreciation and love. This one-time and other special occasions people put extra effort into letting a loved one know they matter and are loved. This thought brought me back to my life and maybe yours. We are busy every day with the people who matter to us. We have conversations—meaningful and not meaningful. We disagree to agree. We eat together, watch a series together. We laugh and cry together. When facing storms, we endure together. Thinking of my daughter, how I watched her going through the loss of her daughter; always checking to make sure she was okay. We spoke and shared about our processing of the loss over the past year. But I realized some things I wanted and want her to know; I didn’t get to say yet. I first thought, I will get to tell her sometime. But what if it is too late? That’s when I wrote her a letter the next day. I took time and wrote a letter to my daughter. Telling her the things I do not tell her in our normal conversations. Life passes us by so quickly, and so do memorable moments. How better than to capture those moments on a piece of paper—validating, inspiring and encouraging someone else. Letting them know that you take notice and that you are present in their lives. I remember years ago, when my daughter—the eldest turned sixteen, I wrote a poem, capturing all the memorable moments from the day she was born. I framed it and gave it to her on her birthday. When her brother turned sixteen, he insisted on his poem. I did one for each of our children. And when my daughter got married and expected her first baby, I wrote her letters. These poems and letters, I know, impacted my children’s lives. It was my way of sharing my heart with them. In which way, can you impact your family life?

The Diagnosis (4)

By Zanthia Berkelmann • February 15, 2020
A week had passed, and doctors were still uncertain about Elizabeth's illness. More blood tests and brain scans were conducted to bring them closer to a diagnosis. After eleven days in the hospital, she was transferred to another facility when traces of Leukemia were found in her blood. The news was shocking, and I had to remind myself that everything would be okay, as I had seen in my dream. The specialist examined her thoroughly, asking her parents many questions. After another lumbar puncture and nearly five hours of waiting, we received the results—Elizabeth did not have Leukemia. The doctor explained that she showed no signs of Leukemia, and her blood cells did not exhibit any of the characteristic markers. This news was a huge relief. Only four days later, Elizabeth was diagnosed with Autoimmune Encephalitis. Treatment with cortisone began immediately, and she responded well to the medication. While we expected her hospital stay to be longer, depending on how she responded, she was discharged on the fifth day. We were grateful for the rapid and remarkable progress she made. During this time, doctors continued to monitor her blood tests, checking for Leukemia and Tuberculosis, as her symptoms overlapped with these conditions. On the day she was released, I made her favorite meal—Spaghetti Bolognese. In the following weeks, she wore an eye-patch for one to two hours daily. When she returned for a follow-up appointment in October, her condition had improved, and her blood tests showed no concerns. Elizabeth was back to her normal self and ready to start Kindergarten in October. I continued to pray, grateful for her miraculous healing. Her parents enrolled her in baby gym classes, and I had the privilege of joining her every Wednesday afternoon. I watched as she climbed and jumped through the obstacle course with so much joy. Occasionally, she would stay over at her Nana and Api's house (her grandfather), where she enjoyed her favorite breakfast—scrambled eggs. Elizabeth had one setback when she experienced diarrhea and stayed one night in the hospital for observation. However, her checkup in December showed excellent progress. An MRI showed no change in the swelling of her brain compared to the August scans—there was neither an increase nor a decrease. I remained hopeful and confident in her full recovery. Job 11:18 "You will be secure, because there is hope; you will look about you and take your rest in safety."
