This devotional is written for the student who is weary yet determined-still showing up for class, for work, for family, for church, and for yourself. It is also for the village that surrounds and sustains you: pastors, professors, resident advisors, counselors, coaches, and creators whose presence and guidance help you press forward.

My prayer is that these pages will affirm what God is already doing in and through your life-and through those who walk alongside you-and gently remind you that your perseverance matters, your purpose is unfolding, and your fight is not in vain.
