Welcome to the Fog

We don’t always recognize the fog right away.

Sometimes it rolls in slowly—after a series of disappointments, sleepless nights, or prayers that feel unanswered. Other times, it crashes into our lives like a storm, leaving us breathless, disoriented, and desperate for light. Either way, we find ourselves standing in a place where clarity has vanished, control has slipped away, and all we can do is whisper, “God… where are You?”

This blog series was born from that place.

It began on a rainy day in the Buffalo Forest of Arkansas, where I found myself literally lost in the fog. Coyotes howled. Thunder cracked. Darkness fell. And I clung to the trunk of a tree, soaked and sobbing, completely undone. That night, I let go of the illusion that I could figure it all out on my own. I surrendered—not with eloquent words, but with desperate, guttural cries: “I surrender! I surrender!”Prologue-The Forest-Mar…

In that raw moment, something shifted. Not the storm. Not the fog. But me.

This 30-day series is for anyone walking through their own fog right now—whether it’s the fog of anxiety, perfectionism, grief, or identity. It’s for the woman who feels unseen, the mom who feels overwhelmed, the leader who feels unworthy. It’s for those of us who’ve clung to control, only to be stripped of it… and found something sacred underneath.

What Is “the Fog”?

The fog can be emotional. Spiritual. Relational. It can feel like confusion, fear, burnout, or numbness.

But it’s not a sign that you’ve failed. It may just be the place where God is inviting you to see differently—to walk by faith and not by sight.

Sometimes the fog isn’t punishment. It’s a pause. A holy covering. A tender invitation to slow down, get quiet, and finally listen.

In this space, we’ll reflect. We’ll breathe. We’ll invite Jesus into the unknown, the unfinished, the unspoken.

And step by step, we’ll find our way—not because the fog vanishes all at once, but because we no longer have to walk alone.

Journaling Prompt

“Where am I currently experiencing fog in my life?”

Write about one area—big or small—where you feel unclear, overwhelmed, or out of control. Invite God into that space. You don’t have to fix it. Just name it.

Devotional Prayer

Father,
Thank You for meeting me in the fog. I don’t have to pretend here. I don’t have to perform. I can come with trembling hands and questions and tears—and You still receive me. Help me trust You in the places that feel uncertain. As I begin this 30-day journey, open my eyes to see You in the mist. Teach me to breathe deeply, listen closely, and walk gently with You, one step at a time.
Amen.
