…you’ve got big, hard things coming at you from every side. You may not even be saying it out loud — but really? It’s hard to keep showing up when it’d be easier to give up.

But can you hear Him?

“Just Call to Me. I guarantee I will answer you.

I will make you strong & brave.” (Ps.138:3MSG)

Ask Him — He will come & make you strong & brave for the Hard Things. 

So that’s the plan: Be Brave.

And do not pray for the hard thing to go away.

But pray for a Bravery to come that’s bigger than the Hard Thing.
