You are worthy.

Dearly Beloved,

You are worthy.

You are precious.

You are accepted.

You are not alone.

I’m praying for you as I'm writing this. I pray that as you read this you would be consumed by the spirit of comfort and peace. I pray that the Father would radiate light and love deep in your soul; that it would cast away the doubts and the darkness. I pray that you could walk in courage and in hope with the knowledge that before you ever spoke a word He was singing and rejoicing over you.

I pray that you would be able to grasp how wildly the Father loves you. That you could harness the power of this love and that it would change everything about your life. That with His love you could show grace to those around you. That you would be able to walk in peace and kindness in a broken world that is constantly trying to break you. That you could look in the face of adversity and see the face of a Father who will never let you down and never let you go. That the voice of the enemy would be drowned out by the whispering of a powerful God who created you in his image.

I pray that you would know you have an army of allies who are fighting and praying for you. That we will stand up for you and love you just as Christ does.

I pray the days you feel alone or broken or defeated are far and few in between. But if those days do come, I'll leave you with lyrics from my favorite song "Reckless Love"; I pray the power of these words resonate with you to remind you of His overwhelming love for us.

"There's no shadow you won't light up
Mountain you won't climb up
Coming after me

There's no wall you won't kick down
Lie you won't tear down
Coming after me

Oh, the overwhelming, never-ending, reckless love of God
Oh, it chases me down, fights 'til I'm found, leaves the ninety-nine
I couldn't earn it, and I don't deserve it, still, you give yourself away
Oh, the overwhelming, never-ending, reckless love of God"

Your sister in Christ,

Rachael Lewis
