Ascent from the Valley

It’s so, so hard, life at times.
Its only foothold sometimes are Promises.
He will not forsake you, ever. He loves and is close to a broken and contrite heart. He will always prosper you, refining you through fire.
And, in the end, which is so hard to see amidst pain, there will be peace and thanksgiving, in so many ways that it surpasses understanding. 
Cling to them, and tread softly, one step, one grab at a time on your ascent out of the valley of deception.
