Hope for the Heavy-Hearted: A New Devotional for When You’re Not Okay

Matthew Hughes

When You’re Not Okay, and That’s Okay

New Devotional Book Available Now

 

There are seasons when your heart feels too heavy to explain. When prayers feel hollow, when joy feels out of reach, and when grief, guilt, or anxiety become a language you speak fluently, even if no one else seems to hear it.

I’ve lived through those seasons.

And what I’ve learned is this: Jesus doesn’t wait for you to feel better before He shows up. He sits with you in it. He doesn’t silence your questions. He hears them. He doesn’t walk away from your anger, your confusion, your deep-down sadness. He stays.


That’s what this new book, Crying with Jesus, is all about.


It’s not a fix-it manual. It’s not a collection of clichés. It’s a companion for those nights you feel alone, unloved, unworthy, or undone. A place to bring your hurt, your doubts, your regret, and your silence — and to find that Jesus is already there, weeping with you, walking with you, and gently helping you breathe again.


Each of the 31 devotionals focuses on one specific ache of the soul: grief, guilt, regret, anxiety, or depression. You can read it in order, or come back to whatever page meets you where you are. There’s no pressure to be “okay” before you open it.
