As I sat on my back patio last night, watching the stars twinkle in the vast, dark sky, I couldn't help but feel a sense of heaviness and sadness settle within my soul. It was typically quieter for a hot summer Saturday evening in Michigan… but the quiet and stillness gave me that moment to pray for the many requests I received over the last few days.
As I watched each star glimmer in the darkness, it reminded me of the hope that flickers in each of those prayer requests. From health issues to concerns for loved ones' salvation, financial struggles, the longing to find love or to be loved, and the heartache of relationship troubles and divorce, and so many. I want you to know that each of these requests are close to my heart and lifted up in prayer.
There is such power in prayer...when life’s challenges seem insurmountable, and the weight of the world feels too heavy to bear, prayer becomes our refuge, a source of strength and hope from God.
In the midst of these difficulties, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed and discouraged. But I want to remind you to hold on to hope. Romans 15:13 says, "May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in Him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit." This verse is a beautiful reminder that our hope is anchored in God.
No matter what you're facing, God sees your pain and is with you in every moment. His love is steadfast, His grace is sufficient, and His power is made perfect in our weakness. Lean on Him, and let His peace and strength carry you through.
We all have our moments that we need to rely on others...and there is no shame in admitting we need help…even if it’s a prayer request. Remember, this season of struggle is not the end of your story. God has a plan for each of us, a future filled with hope and promise. Trust in His timing and His unfailing love.
Much love and blessings,

This verse is timely for me and serves as a daily reminder for us and all those whose lives we touch. Whether in a seemingly hopeless situation or just slightly difficult, we all need hope directly from the source of all love, faith, hope, peace, and joy – our heavenly Father, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. Thank you.
