Will I ever be able to put the pieces back together? Where is God when we are in so much pain? He may have the whole world in His hands, but sometimes it feels like He trips, hollering, "Oops!" as we are flung from His hands, and our lives shatter into pieces. We look at the fragments of our former self, relationships, careers and dreams and wonder, "Where did I go wrong? Why did God allow this illness into my life? Will God ever heal me?"

So What Now?

You weren't dropped. Okay, so you may feel like a broken pot, but God is taking you off that discount-shelf-life and transforming you into something noble: a mosaic! In "Mosaic Moments" Lisa Copen, founder of Rest Ministries, and more than 20 contributors will journey with you through putting the pieces back together. If you feel like chronic illness is crushing your spirit or you just want a friend for this unexpected path, you'll find hope and understanding within these devotionals from those who understand chronic illness. They understand the pain of being a broken pot, but they also lead you toward finding the joy in becoming God's precious work of art.
