We were strengthened in the storm,
not because we were strong,
but because we were held.

Held by God’s steady faithfulness.
Held by friends who showed up with prayers, meals, and quiet presence.
Held by each other, when one of us couldn’t carry the weight alone.

The storm didn’t spare us—but it sustained us.
And that changed us.

through long nights and unanswered prayers,

And somehow, that companionship mattered more than rescue ever could.
Presence became the miracle.

Choose the quiet courage of being seen and known.
The applause was never worth the cost.

Time spent in the valley expands our capacity
to sit with others in theirs,
to listen without fixing,
and to love without needing to rush the healing.

The wilderness was never meant to disqualify you;
it was meant to prepare you.

Episode 7 of Oh, Good Grief | The Podcast is live: Made for More.

In this final episode of the Wilderness series,

and how God wastes nothing,
not even our pain.
