We don’t achieve peace by managing everyone and everything. The only true way to peace is to put all our trust in God. He can handle every person, every problem, and every outcome.
May the Lord Himself strengthen your resolve to lay hold of His promises. May He give you gritty faith to hang on and hang in there. May He overwhelm you with grace to stand strong in circumstances that threaten to weaken you.
God is so good. He intends for you to gain wisdom, authority, and credibility where you’ve experienced loss, heartbreak, and messages that distort His love. Train yourself in the truth that sets you free.

Our seasons of suffering are not for nothing.
They will grow us... shape us... soften us.
They will allow us to experience God’s comfort and compassion. And we will find life-giving purpose and meaning when we allow God to take our painful experiences and comfort others.

Oh how I love this verse.
Healing. We can’t schedule it or hurry it up.
But when we start to see it as unfolding layers of unexpected strength & richly revealed insights, it doesn’t feel so inconvenient or unfair.
It starts to feel like the sweetest secret God ever whispered into the depth of our soul.
"I remain confident of this: I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord." (Psalms 27:13-14)
Psalm 143:8-9 Cause me to hear Your lovingkindness in the morning, For in You do I trust; Cause me to know the way in which I should walk, For I lift up my soul to You. Deliver me, O Lord, from my enemies; In You I take shelter.
