Your Battle Holds the Seed of Your Breakthrough
What if your struggle isn't the end of your story - but the beginning of your breakthrough?
When chronic illness, pain, or life’s storms leave you weary, it’s easy to wonder if God still sees you.
But He hasn’t left you—He’s still writing your story, even in the waiting, the weakness, and the unknown.
Battles & Breakthroughs is a 40-day devotional written to help you find faith, peace, and victory in the middle of your hardest battles.
You’ve tried to “stay strong,” but your strength keeps running out.
You’ve prayed for healing. You’ve tried every diet, supplement, and stress trick. You’ve smiled when people told you to “just have faith.”
But deep down, you still feel weary, anxious, and unseen.
But deep down, you still feel weary, anxious, and unseen.
The world offers quick fixes and surface-level positivity, but they don’t touch the deep soul-level weariness that comes with chronic illness, loss, or waiting for answers that haven’t come.
You don’t need another pep talk.
You need a lifeline of truth—something that strengthens your faith and reminds you that victory in Christ is already yours, even before your circumstances change.
I'VE BEEN WHERE YOU ARE
When I was diagnosed with ITP, my world turned upside down. My faith was tested, my body was fragile, and my hope wavered.
But through Scripture, prayer, and God’s quiet whispers, I began to see that healing isn’t just physical—it’s emotional, spiritual, and deeply personal.
This devotional was born out of that season. Each entry is a piece of my own journey — written for anyone who has ever asked, “Why me, Lord?” and “Where are You in this?”
If that’s you, you’re not alone.
There’s hope, healing, and peace waiting for you in these pages.
