In the spiritual life, we will face many valleys. Valleys are the spaces that are hard—where doubt, uncertainty, and suffering press against the life we actually long to live. In moments like this, we can find comfort in the mountaintop experiences we’ve had with God in the past. While these aren’t the only means of being sustained in hard seasons, they can remind us that even when evidence seems to the contrary, God still is present and still loves us.
