A Word of Comfort in Your Darkest Hour

I know you feel broken.

I know you just signed the divorce papers.

I know that contract you prayed for was awarded to someone else.

I know you feel devastated.

I know alcohol has become your quiet companion.

I know sleep has eluded you.

I know you just experienced a miscarriage.

I know you feel miserable. I know all of that.

I know you’ve been asking, “Where do I begin? Where do I start from?”

I know your bank account is empty, and hope seems far away.

I know the nights feel longer, the tears heavier, and the silence louder.

But hear me today: This is not the end of your story.

Your life is not over. Your pain is not wasted. Your heart, though cracked, still beats with purpose.

Take a deep breath. One step at a time. Healing begins here. Restoration begins now.

You may not see the path clearly, but you are not alone and you are not forgotten.

The sun will rise again for you. You will smile again. You will rebuild, you will recover, and you will thrive. There is more ahead of you than behind you.
