Do you feel you’re living in the midst of ashes? Are you wondering where God is? Do you feel forgotten?

Have you ever been in a pitch-dark place with other people? Just because you can’t see them doesn’t change the reality that they are there. Friend, you are not alone.

Right now, your way is dark, and that is why you can’t see Him. But He is there.

This is where it takes faith to trust that your Good Shepherd is with you and leading you through this dark and scary time.

Trust Him. Believe He is who He says He is. Have faith that He will get you through.

God loves you! He NEVER leaves you. He hears your cries and saves your tears.

We live in a broken world that is full of much pain and heartache. But that is not the final story.

God takes ashes and turns them into beauty. He is redeeming you! He is making a new you. One who is stronger, braver, and more courageous than you ever thought possible.

I leave you with God’s words. Let them soak in and wash over you today.

“To all who mourn in Israel, he will give a crown of beauty for ashes, a joyous blessing instead of mourning, festive praise instead of despair. In their righteousness, they will be like great oaks that the Lord has planted for his own glory.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭61:3‬ ‭NLT‬‬‬‬
