How Far I’ve Come
“And
my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ
Jesus.” — Philippians 4:19
Walking Through the Valley
It
has been seven months and eleven days since my daughter’s life was tragically
taken in a car accident. In the days that followed, grief felt overwhelming,
and I often wondered how I could go on. But in my darkest moments, I prayed—and
God met me there.
Strength for Each Day
Day
by day, He gave me strength. I held to the simple rhythm of reading a
devotional each morning and lifting my heart to Him in prayer. Each time the
shadows of despair crept in, I chose to look up, fixing my eyes on my Creator,
the God of heaven.
Holding on to Hope
It
is still hard when I think about my daughter and my late husband. There are
moments when I wish life could be different. Yet, I cling to the promise that
one day I will see them again. They are waiting for me, and until that day, I
know God still has a plan and a purpose for my life.
“For
everything there is a season, and a time for every purpose under heaven.”
— Ecclesiastes 3:1
That
truth gives me hope. I may not know what tomorrow holds, but I know Who holds
tomorrow. And that is enough. Hallelujah!
Proclaiming His Goodness
We
are here on earth to proclaim the goodness of God. As Psalm 34:3 reminds us: “Come,
let us tell of the Lord’s greatness; let us exalt His name together.”
Friend,
have you experienced God's goodness in your own life? Take a moment to
reflect—and then share it with other people. Tell them how God has worked in your life. When we tell others what God has brought us through,
His peace and security become even more real in our hearts.
Closing Prayer
Heavenly
Father, thank You for walking with me through the darkest valleys and giving me
strength when I felt weak. Help me to remember that You have a plan for my life
and that You are always near. Teach me to proclaim Your goodness so others may
see Your love at work. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
