My readings today threw me a Heavenly life preserver, just when I need it most. Maybe you also need this life buoy.

Life’s pressures can become overwhelming, feeling like you’re drowning. However, struggles with darkness are necessary; failure and mistakes teach us more than our successes. Our life issues help us understand the difficulties others are facing.

God has not asked us to figure out life on our own. There is a Wonderful Counselor, someone who will listen without judgement or condemnation. You can talk to Him, and trust Him to hold the deep secrets of your heart. This listening ear, with words of hope and wisdom, can guide you through every situation you face.

My hope raft inflated, I face the day with a much lighter heart and a smile as I greet the world. May hope also be restored in your life.
