Have you ever walked through a dark valley? I’ve seen enough of it in the movies. It’s that eerie place which puts your nerves on high alert, gets your heart rate up and swallows every ounce of peace in you.

A valley is a place where progress isn’t evident and fear echoes like the roar of a lion. Maybe it’s a toxic relationship, a failed career, trauma from the past, the list goes on.

Sometimes we have to walk through the valley to get to the green pasture. Sometimes we have to take a step forward in that eerie valley holding on to an unseen hand, trusting an unknown power, something of the divine.

Trust the process, trust the supernatural entity who calls himself God. Your green pasture might just be around the corner.
