"The next time doubts rise up, don’t let them have the last word. Doubt your doubts instead. Challenge them with the truth of God’s Word. Speak these promises over yourself, even if your heart struggles to believe them at first. Let them drown out the noise of the chatterbox and fill your mind with the voice of your Shepherd, who calls you by name (John 10:3)."

"True joy can be found in depression, sadness, anxiety, and pain. You are not broken because you hurt. Real brokenness is sitting in your hurt without looking to the healer."
