    God’s presence with us in life’s darkest valleys brings comfort, courage, and guidance, assuring us we are never alone, no matter the circumstance.

    Some valleys look like hospital rooms with the blinds half-open and the clock moving too slowly. Some valleys sound like the phone call no one wants or the silence after the door shuts.
