Voice of Truth Stories
Meet Sarah Frazer from Charleston, West Virginia
Struggling with feelings of rejection, I opened my email one day to find a note from a woman named Diana. She had come across my ministry and wanted to connect with me.
The week prior, I had received some hard news about my writing journey and was feeling very discouraged. Did God want me to quit? Was this His way of shutting the door?
Suddenly, I found myself reading an email from a woman who “happened” on my website! She wanted to connect and hear more of my story. After a couple of Zoom calls, one with another wonderful woman named Kimberly, I was invited to share my story with Women World Leaders on their podcast.
My journey with God hasn’t been a straight line. I grew up going to church and came to Christ at a young age. As a young girl and into my teenage years, I always tried to do the “right” thing. But as I grew in my faith, I realized I was trying to earn God’s favor. When I became a mother, especially after we adopted our youngest two children, I realized I didn’t have to earn God’s love at all.
God loves me completely and wholly. Psalm 136:1 says, Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good, for his steadfast love endures forever (ESV). The powerful message of the Gospel was applied to my daily life. I found that I could freely give thanks to God because His steadfast love wasn’t dependent on me being a good person. It was found in God’s goodness and His own character.
Over the years, I’ve had one story change after another. Our family has faced many unexpected disappointments. From job loss to health issues to having a daughter with special needs, I have often questioned God’s goodness in my life. Although not-so-good things have happened, I am constantly reminded of God’s unfailing goodness—no matter what my life looks like.
Reading through Voice of Truth, I found story after story of encouragement for my heart. What I love about each article is the amount of scripture included. These are not selfhelp stories written to make us feel better. There are real, authentic, Bible-based truths to drive us to go deeper into God’s Word.
One of my passions is to encourage women to start today with their Bible reading and prayer habits. If you are like me and want to add a special type of devotional and inspiration to your time with God in the morning, I highly recommend Voice of Truth. Each article is like a short devotional, beautifully written, based on biblical truth, and will encourage you for your day.
Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good, for his steadfast love endures forever (PSALM 136:1 ESV)
