It will be okay.
Among the murky
clouds of despair,
God’s light will
pierce through
the dark, twisting
pain in your heart.

“When you walk
through the fire,
you shall not be
burned,” is the
promise made
in Isaiah 43:2.

So it is spoken to those
of little faith, in the
throngs of life that
threaten to overwhelm
and consume you.

In the moments spent with tears cried alone,
praying for a miracle,
breathe, oh precious child, for your story
isn’t over yet.

Whether it’s a broken heart
or a wounded, defeated spirit,
each chapter is part of one,
big adventure.
The Power that raised
Christ from the dead,
lies in you,
in all gathered in His Name.

When bloody battles wage
outside your front door,
remember His faithfulness.
In sleepless nights,
wondering if He is there,
remember His love.
As you stand up
to injustice
against the ungodly,
raising your fist,
demanding answers,
He will not turn away.

Breathe,
for He is not finished
with you.
You are in His Hands,
as you will be
in Paradise with Him.
