Perhaps you’ve whispered these words in secret or have been desperately crying out for a help that seems so far away. You’re not alone—and there is a God who longs to be close to you and hold you together even when you feel like giving up.

And when the waves of defeat and hopelessness come crashing in on us, we can cling to Him as an anchor for a sure and steady hope.
