Today's prompt is book quotes, and I decided to bring you quotes from The Hardest Peace by Kara Tippetts. Kara was a pastor's wife and mom of four young children. She wrote this book about her journey through metastatic breast cancer, and it's a wonderful testimony of God's faithfulness in life's hard moments. I don't know about you, but it seems we've all had our share of hard moments here in 2020. If you're in need of a reminder that God's got you, that He's never once lost you in the madness of these circumstances, please check out The Hardest Peace.

"Tomorrow we get to wake up and be faithful.
Whatever each step brings, and whatever hard comes, people will always disappoint us.
But tomorrow, tomorrow we get to be faithful in that moment."

*

"Your story is a good story.
In the grief, pain, and hard, the Author has a plan.
It may feel like a desperate breaking of your very heart,
but suffering is not the absence of God or good."

*

"Suffering is the gift you never wanted,
the gift wrapped in confusion and heartbreak and brokenness."

*

"...Maybe, just maybe, brokenness is not to be feared but humbly received."

*

"...If God has called me to this hard story, His promise is one of sufficient grace."

*

"If I really sit and listen to God, He will lift the dread.
The dread and fear are what so often steal our peace and leave us on the edges of our moments exhausted.
We meet the scary of life and forget to turn to God and listen and know His peace.
We scramble to control, fix, and protect from hard.
The imagined fears and worries often break us more than reality."

*

"Grace is the sweet moment you never expect
but turns up to get you through a day, an appointment, a reality you never, ever dreamed for yourself."
