Jehovah knows that sometimes I’m a mess, but I’m so grateful that he continues to show up for me. 💁🏾♀️🙌 #neveralone
I appreciate this point from Nathan and Priscilla’s experience: Focusing on how Jehovah helped us to endure that hardship instead of focusing on the trial itself prepared them to face future challenges with faith.
