The Father's Strength
A song within the opening chapter's movement toward reconciliation and return.

What the song is about
- God provides strength when I have none of my own
- There is a season for everything, even hardship
- God's presence sustains me through spiritual disorientation
- God remains faithful even when purpose is unclear
Questions it sits with
- What is God doing when I cannot see it?
- How do I keep holding on when I feel spiritually displaced?
- Can there still be purpose when I cannot find the reason?
Scripture
- Ecclesiastes 3:1 — explicit lyrical allusion to everything having a season
- God's fatherly strength — thematic, not a claimed direct quotation
