I wrote this years ago in my journal. Not knowing that I would ever share it publicly. It has since gone viral on pinterest when I saved it to my journal board (I used to share random encouragement/words there before I blogged). I didn’t think others would see it but I thought maybe it would encourage one person.
It has since gone viral and is now on a lot of random websites, blogs, social media posts and says “unknown author” which makes me kind of laugh that something I wrote during the worst night/season ended up being something God would use to encourage thousands.
I wrote this for myself. I was going through a really difficult time with anxiety, depression, chronic pain and questioning when my suffering would come to an end. I am so thankful that I wrote this.
So I wanted to officially post this on my blog since a lot of people click on the image to see where it came from. It came from my journal, and this is my blog where I share a lot about mental health and faith.
I’m so thankful this encouraged you! ๐
Love,
Tay Ruth
Also- I’m writing this blog right now at 2:43 AM which is honestly right around the time of night I wrote this piece years ago so it made me think about it. ๐

THANK YOU! God is truly working through you. I pray He blesses you abundantly! I love this encouragement and keep encouraging others. ๐
