Year of the Bible

This text brought me peace of mind after I completed writing “love letters” to my husband and children, encouraging them and expounding on how much I loved them and sharing my hopes for their future.

Becoming a widow has presented challenges that require my total dependence upon God. It set me on a journey that I never expected to take, nor would I have chosen—but God is in control.

In the Bible, God gives us the only path to genuine, lasting peace.

Referring to Him giving us a future and hope, Jeremiah goes on to say that we are to seek, find and search for God with all of our hearts. And that’s exactly what I did.

Jesus is doing that exact thing now—appearing before the Father to show that, although we have nothing, He has already paid the price for us!

I love this text because it foretells of a world to come without sin, sorrow and suffering.

In my season of loneliness, God spoke a message of hope in the prophetic blessing recorded in Isaiah 41:9–10.

In this verse, I found one of the most amazing promises from Jesus that I so desperately needed.

In my 35 years of ministry, these verses have carried me through many storms and blessings. This passage became even more relevant when I got into a terrible car accident.
