Hope in the Hard - A Story of Surrender & the Presence of God :: Sarah Waller, Episode 368

As we journey toward Heaven, God, in His kindness, continually reveals who He is and invites us to experience His presence more intimately. Today’s storyteller, Sarah Waller from our Homewood, Alabama community, reminds us that in life’s hardest moments, surrendering to God opens our eyes to His faithful nearness.

Sarah shares how the Lord gently revealed His Kingship to her in her twenties and the sustaining power of the Holy Spirit in her thirties—showing up in both the big moments and the quiet, everyday ones. These revelations, however, were forged through deep suffering: first, the loss of her mother to cancer, and later, the trial of undergoing an intense brain surgery.

Through every loss and uncertainty, God tenderly called Sarah to rest in this truth—that she is a daughter of the King, fully seen, deeply known, and unconditionally loved.
