Winter Devotional for Women 2026: Finding Light in the Coldest Season
❄️ When Winter Feels Deeper Than the Snow
January in America can feel long.
The holidays are over.
The days are short.
The news is heavy.
And your heart? Maybe it’s just… tired.
You’re not alone.
For many women, winter isn’t just a season—it’s a spiritual and emotional wilderness. Shorter daylight, post-holiday blues, financial stress, or even seasonal sadness can dim your inner light.
But here’s the truth: God doesn’t wait for spring to meet you.
“The people walking in darkness have seen a great light…”
— Isaiah 9:2 (NIV)
