Brave Enough to Speak

Greetings to all. This Tuesday, while silence can be a great source of strength, consider being brave enough to speak up about what you have been silent about.

As we go through life, we encounter things that can trouble us—things we see, hear, or experience. When facing pain and hurt, we might be encouraged to remain silent or ignore our troubles. However, the true strength sometimes lies in being brave enough to share our struggles.

Psalm 39:2–3 (GW)

Lesson: While we may have the courage to share our struggles, not everyone is ready to listen. However, God invites us to bring our pain and what ails us to Him, allowing us to speak openly about our experiences.
