- You DO NOT have to submit the “best” graphic to win! Our winner will be randomly selected from all entries.
- Be sure to use one of these 25 sneak peek quotes from Isaiah’s Daughter:
- “Prophecy—even when we don’t fully understand it—is given so we can watch God’s sovereignty and power unfold.”
- “I experience joy more deeply because I’ve known sadness. And I treasure the bonds of family because I’ve been lonely. The caves taught me to embrace the darkness so I could fully appreciate the light.”
- “No matter what happens today, you are loved. You are married. You are a delight.”
- “I will serve without demands because I am God’s delight.”
- “We must attempt more than is humanly possible to witness what only God can do.”
- “I don’t understand everything . . . All I know is the peace I feel when I remember Yahweh is near and He is constant.”
- “If we cannot trust when we do not understand, our trust is hollow and understanding vain.” (this line got cut in one of the edits, but it’s one of the best ones I wrote! Let’s use it anyway.)
- “When one of God’s prophecies doesn’t come to pass, it’s not because He failed; it’s because we misunderstood it.”
- “It’s hard to trust God when reality drains our hope, but God must be our hope for a new reality.”
- “If those with the light never walk the narrow path, how will the lost find their way?”
- “We must trust in His plan for our future—no matter what our present looks like.”
- “If angry tears were red, and sad tears were blue, and frightened tears were green, what color would your tears be?”
- “Couldn’t the promises meant for the future be accessible in the present when we serve the Eternal?”
- “I must focus on the eternal or risk hopelessness in the present.”
- “I can be a wick in the lamp, but Yahweh must be the fuel and the fire.”
- “Hezekiah, you are but a whisper. The true Root of Jesse, Son of David, promised Savior will be a Shout!”
- “Trust is not so simple when human decisions are required.”
- “People will fail us. Armies can’t always save us. But Yahweh is faithful forever.”
- “Lord, give me the will to trust when my faith fails so I can lean into You till the answer comes.”
- “Yahweh, strengthen our faith to overcome what our senses can’t deny.”
- “Only as time passes do we discover the clear path on which Yahweh leads us.”
- “I believe Yahweh forgives our imperfect attempts at obedience when we act in sincere faith to live out His commands.”
- “The absolute peace I yearn for can only be found in eternity, but His tender peace descends when I’m immersed in His Word and makes this life bearable.”
- “We must keep our eyes on eternity, or today might be more than we could bear.”
- “Dwell on earth in God’s peace while remaining focused on eternity.”
