Going to the Prom

The battle you are facing is real. The wrestlings of your heart, the fear that paralyzes you, the lies that imprison you—even the unrelenting waves of shame, regret, or worry that threaten to drown you are real, too, and life is hard. Maybe you’re hiding your brokenness and struggles from others, but you and I know the truth: life can feel overwhelming. But, dear friend, there is hope because Jesus’s rescue is real. He is there. Reach for Him; He is there to embrace you with love and comfort and give you His strength. 07/17/2024 09:01 AM
