Grief is not the absence of faith. Sometimes it's the deepest expression of it. If you're hurting today, God is not far โ He is close to the brokenhearted. Let Him in. ๐ค
Begin this week with a prayer of surrender:
"Lord, I don't know what this week holds โ but I know Who holds it. I trust You to carry what I cannot, to heal what I've been hiding and to open my eyes to Your goodness even in the chaos or despair. I choose to trust You not because everything is fine, but because You are faithful. In Jesus' name. Amen.'"

It is with deep sadness that we share the passing of Rev. James Robison, the beloved founder of Life Outreach International.
James devoted his life to sharing the Gospel and bringing hope, help, and healing to those in need around the world. Together, James and Betty stewarded a ministry that has touched countless lives and will continue impacting generations to come.
Though we grieve this tremendous loss, we also celebrate a life faithfully lived in service to God and others. In the months and years ahead, we will faithfully carry on the mission James cared about so deeply โ bringing food to the hungry, water to the thirsty, and mostly, the hope of Christ to a hurting world.
The mission James gave his life to will continue with the same heart, compassion, and commitment that partners like you have faithfully helped make possible.
In the coming days, we will share additional updates as we move forward together. For now, we ask you to join us in praying for Betty, the Robison family, and the entire Life Outreach ministry family around the world.
โWell done, good and faithful servant.โ โ Matthew 25:21

The same God who parted the Red Sea, shut the lions' mouths and walked out of an empty tomb is in your situation right now. Nothing is too hard for Him. Trust that He is working it all out for your good. โ๏ธ
Your faith today is not the same faith you had a year ago. It's been tested, stretched and proven. Your growth is worth celebrating. ๐ What has God shown you about Himself through the hard seasons?
The enemy wants you to rehearse your failures. God wants you to remember your redemption. You are not what you've done โ you are what Christ has done for you. ๐ค
Start your week with this prayer:
"God, I don't know everything this week holds โ but You do. I trust You with what I can't see. Give me courage for what's hard, grace for what's uncertain and eyes to recognize Your hand in all of it. Lead me in Your perfect ways. In Jesus' name. Amen."
