Receive from the Word the daily bread you need to be strengthened, equipped, empowered, emboldened, and inspired. The Lord, your God, is with you. He is upholding you with a victorious, mighty hand. His plans are to give you a hope and future, often creating beauty from ashes along the way. He has not forgotten you. He sees. You will make it.

For the things we see now will soon be gone, but the things we cannot see will last forever.”
