I’m smiling here, but so, so many times I’ve sobbed while reciting this favorite verse.

There are plenty of times in my life when I’ve felt the odds were definitely against me, or when I’ve felt very nearly defeated wondering how I would ever get through.

Those times of great struggle and seeming despair have happened in all areas within my life: my self, my family, my business, my friends, and more. 

As a woman who values and regularly practices prayer and meditation, there are many prayers and quotes that have given me hope. 

This is one of my favorites.
