Hello, Altered Stories Ministry Family,

We are in a season when life can get hard. I recently saw a post on X that said choose your hard.

The Bible makes it clear that we will go through trials, but it also directs us to hold on, even in the middle of the suffering. In Zephaniah 3:17 scripture says “For the Lord your God is living among you. He is a mighty savior. He will take delight in you with gladness. With his love, he will calm all your fears. He will rejoice over you with joyful songs.”

When things get rough and you are barely hanging on, just recall this passage and remember that God has you even when your world feels like its collapsing.

I hope this helps,

Teresa
