RISE: A JOURNAL FOR PERSEVERANCE
EXPLORE THE journal
Life is full of difficulties, disappointments, and deep grief. We have nights of deep darkness. But what do we do when the morning comes, light returns, and life still feels messy and hard?
From navigating life after the death of a loved one to a painful marriage season or divorce to experiencing the loneliness of a move or the uncertainty of changing careers, the fabric of our lives gets altered, our hearts grow weary, and we struggle to know how to emerge in light of all the changes and challenges.
There comes a time when you're ready to enter a new day, reclaim your life, find resurrection for your spirit and renewal for your mind, and step forward.
But here's the reality you're facing. You're not ready to just jump out of bed with pep in your step and a smile on your face.
You know it's time to rise—and you need support.
This is where Rise: A Journal for Perseverance can help. Keep reading to discover how.
