When my father’s life ended, my family began to walk through the valley of the shadow of death.
We had been through some hard stuff over the months leading up to then. During my father’s last days, my newborn nephew had emergency surgery. Our 3 yearold daughter was diagnosed with a severe speech disorder, and soon after my mom had a pulmonary embolism that led to three days in ICU.
You know what? God kept His promises from Psalm 23. His goodness and mercy followed us, His words in the Bible guided us, and His presence comforted us.
Whatever you’re going through, God wants to meet you in your valley. He wants to comfort your hurts, give you courage to let go, and perseverance to hold on to Him and to others in your life.
