Take a deep breath. It will be OK. You will get through this.
If you find yourself needing to hear those words today, you are not alone. You are not alone on at least two levels. One thing to remember is that all of us have times in our lives when we don’t think we can make it through – we just can’t shoulder another thing. If that is not you today, stop and thank God for the break and ask for strength for the days ahead when this will describe you.
If this is you today, then you can also remember that as a believer, you are never alone. Jesus said, “I will never leave you.” God is with you through whatever this life may bring your way. Lean into that reality today and lean completely on God.
Just remember this – copy it down – put it on your fridge or mirror:
Before all this . . . God
After all this . . . God
Be blessed today!

I needed this reminder today. My mom is fighting for her life in hospital and i am fighting for strength, wisdom, and calm. Thank u for reminding me I am not alone.
Michelle,
Please keep me posted on your mom.
Some days I feel so lost and confused it is hard to understand “why” and then I go to “how” and all seems overwhelming. Even thought I know it is a lot of my own doing it stills seems beyond my ability and/or understanding of where to go from here. However, at the end of the day “The truth will set you free…” and your words are certainly true and encouraging. Thanks Brian! Love you brother!
Thanks Lynn! I appreciate you more than you know!
