Soul Care Notes

The Shunammite Woman: Refusing to Give Up Hope

(2 Kings 4:8–37)

The Shunammite woman’s story reminds us that fearless faith is not about pretending everything is fine—it’s about trusting that God is still faithful even when life breaks our hearts.

This week’s SoulWork invites you to rest in that tension between grief and hope, loss and resurrection, and to trust the slow work of God.

Reflect:

Where have you felt hope slipping away?
What might it mean to say, “It is well,” even when it isn’t yet?
How can you nurture hope through prayer, breath, or community this week?

Breathe deeply and whisper:

“Hope lives here.”
