“Dear God, things have been hard. Will you help me please… and heal me.” — a letter from a young girl at the ranch She had never really thought about telling God how she felt. Until her mentor invited her to write a letter to Him. Simple. Honest. Brave. And sometimes, that’s where healing begins. The truth is—God already knows what we’re thinking and feeling. But He wants us to go to Him with all the things hidden in our heart. And when we present all of our broken pieces to Him, when we open up and share all of our heartache, frustrations, and disappointments, when we confess our sin, when we shake our fist and yell, when we quietly cry, and when we pour out ourselves at His feet— He meets us there. Tell God how you really feel. Let Him carry the weight of your burden. Let Him catch your falling tears. Because when we take our struggles out of the darkness of isolation… the Light comes in. “Trust in him at all times, you people; pour out your hearts to him, for God is our refuge.” Psalm 62:8 NIV #HopeInTheSaddle #YouthRanchMinistry #JesusHeals #FaithForTheBroken #PourOutYourHeart #HealingBeginsHere #LetTheLightIn (fb)

We absolutely loved having @myimpactyth out last weekend to serve at the ranch! With over 80 students and adults, they accomplished so much in a short amount of time, and we are so blessed by their hard work, sweet smiles, and great attitudes! We cannot begin to express how grateful we are! (fb)
