When shadows fall around you and the road feels long and steep, when worry creeps in softly and tries to steal your sleep—
When dreams feel dim or distant and hope seems slow to rise, remember every sunrise begins in darkened skies.
Even in the silence, when answers seem delayed, a thousand gentle mercies are quietly being made.
For strength is born in waiting, and courage grows in prayer; God made to you, a promise, that He will always be there.
So, lift your eyes to heaven – let faith restore your view. Almighty God, who walks beside you, will surely carry you through.
Be encouraged!
