You survived things that should have broken you. Not because you were never afraid, but because you were never carrying it alone.

God carried you

when you were exhausted and still kept going

when you didn’t have answers but stayed anyway

God saw every part of it. And He hasn’t stopped holding you.

– Jacqueline Whitney

when your strength ran out and something held you steady

when you made it through days you don’t fully remember

when your prayers had no words when you adapted just to survive

when you felt alone but weren’t

when you didn’t think you’d make it, and somehow did

God saw every part of it.

And He hasn’t stopped holding you.
