5 Truths for Every Woman's HeartSample

It's Okay If You're Not Okay

When we’re having a tough day, we can feel as if we’re failing. But really, we’re just fighting hard. So remember this: you’re doing better than you know, you’re loved more than you can imagine, and you’re going to get through whatever is in front of you today.

There is nothing you will face today that’s bigger than your God. No problem. No struggle. No opposition. He can’t be defeated, and therefore, you can’t be defeated either. Yes, there may be some battles. You may even be wounded. But you will not be overcome.

He’s in the hospital room when the test results come. He’s in the meeting when the announcement is made. He’s in your living room when the person you love slams the front door and walks into the night.

He’s there in the middle of it all, standing with you on the battlefield, promising you that the war isn’t over that the enemy will not win in the end.

It’s okay to let the tears stream down your face, to pound your fists against your pillow, to feel tired or sad or confused. In the middle of it all, hold tightly to what’s true and refuse to let anyone or anything take it from you.

You’re not weak; you’re a warrior fighting a hard battle.

Your story isn’t done; God is still doing a good work in your life.

It’s not over; you’re an overcomer with hope and a future.

God, give me the strength to keep fighting, the courage never to give up, and the faith to stand firm no matter what happens.

How have you been a warrior who’s fighting hard?
