INTRODUCTION
As we walk along our journey of life, one thing is certain: we will have our peaks and valleys. As a Christian, knowing God is always with us and is faithful brings us hope and peace. I write this inspiring devotional while I myself am walking through a life valley, but I nonetheless continue to praise God. I know He walks with me, and sometimes even carries me through these valleys. I will give Him praise and glory, regardless of any valley or the highest of peaks, for He is always due my praise. I have the confidence He will continue to sustain me in this valley and bring me to another peak again as He always has. Some life valleys can be more difficult, than others due to circumstances of pain, grief, discouragement, loneliness, abandonment, stress, or fear. Rest assured, God knows them all, and He will meet you exactly where you are. Life sure can be messy, and there is no mess too big for God. I pray you will come to know and accept the amazing love of Jesus, and have a relationship with Him as your Savior. My hope is that this book will inspire you and bring you joy, strength, and peace, in whatever season of life you are in.

HIS COMFORT
M Y PAIN AND DISCOURAGEMENT CAN feel overwhelming at times. Even in my anguish, Jesus, you are near me with your loving arms wrapped around me, guiding my footsteps. I can take great comfort that you are always with me as I hold onto your Word to take me through all of life’s storms.
Deuteronomy 31:8 (NIV)
The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you, Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.

Through my valley I will sing your praises and have joy in this trial. You make all things new, and breathe life and hope into any circumstance.
Psalm 23:4 (NIV)
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.
There can be days that just going minute to minute can be challenging. During such time, I do not let the devil steal my joy in knowing God is working even when I do not see it. I have faith his Word is true and he can use any circumstance, pain, or situation to strengthen our relationship with Him and bring praise to His name. I choose to be a fountain that flows joy, not vinegar from this trial. I will choose to use what I am going through to be a witness to others of God’s unfailing love and mercy.
Psalm 119:76 (NIV)
May your unfailing love be my comfort, according to your promise to your servant.
