Overtaken by Grace: How Intimacy with God Brings Hope, Healing, and Miracles

What if that challenge—the one we cannot make go away, the one that overwhelms—is a precious treasure, a gateway to God, to know His mercy, love, and grace? What if we begin to believe that His strength is made perfect in what we cannot do alone, and that we can, as Philippians 4:13 says, do all things through Christ who gives us strength? What if in the valley we truly believe in our victory? What if all is well—not because circumstances change but because of His love and goodness? Then will we fall into His grace, knowing that if we are experiencing a challenge, God invites us on the undertaking of a lifetime.

God’s invitation is for a deeper, more love-infused walk than we can imagine. In whatever trials we find ourselves, God is right beside us, His Holy Spirit alive within us. He knows how much we hurt and how confusing our circumstances often are. He sees our tears and knows our fears. Then His Word whispers, “ Don’t be afraid, for I am with you” (Isaiah 41:10). Overtaken by Grace is not a step-by-step way to move through adversity, although I wish there were one. This is not a self-help book, for in the deep waters only God’s grace redeems us. This is a book of hope—life-affirming essays that flowed from pen to paper after pouring out my pain to God and asking the Holy Spirit to pour into me.

Life is a beautiful, messy, blessed, and sometimes broken glory road paved with love, tears, and faith. So just as God invites us daily on a trust walk with Him, I invite you to pull up a chair, take off your shoes, and breathe deeply as Overtaken by Gracedepicts how God epically shows up and shows off and gives you the tools to experience His hope, healing, and miracles.
