Rachel is a wife, mom, and a writer. She has a BA in Biblical Studies and Christian Ministry. She is happily married to Will, and they have four children.

Rachel suffers from dysautonomia, a dysregulation of the autonomic nervous system. It is an invisible illness that leaves her tired, weak, and mostly homebound. She is learning to rely on God’s strength, rest in His grace, and cling to hope.

When she isn’t resting, you can find Rachel crocheting, reading, writing, studying the Bible, spending time with her family, or having tea with friends.

I got the idea to write this devotion book three years ago while reading "Rose from Brier" by Amy Carmichael. "Rose from Brier" is a collection of letters that Amy wrote while in great pain and confined to bed. They are letters of comfort and encouragement written by one who is ill, for those who are ill.

While reading Amy's book in 2012, I decided to start writing devotions on my hard days. I looked to God's Word for encouragement and help, and I wrote the words that I needed to hear on my hard days. I hope that this little devotion ebook will encourage others the way that Amy Carmichael's book has encouraged me.(less)

Shelter from a Stranger

I attend an online chronic illness support group each week, and last week we told stories of God's faithfulness in our lives. Throughout the week we had been mulling over the question, "What stories of God's past faithfulness offer you stability when your circumstances feel at odds with God's goodness?" And then when we met together, a few of us shared stories of times when we could clearly see Go

Quotes by Rachel Lundy  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“On the hard days I often remind myself to focus on what I know, not on what I feel. Feelings may be real, but feelings aren’t necessarily true. I need to renew my mind with truth! I need to preach the Gospel to myself. I need to cling to the promises of God’s Word that I know are true instead of giving in to feelings of despair. It is through renewing my mind with good and true knowledge from the Bible that my inner self is renewed and strengthened day by day.”
Rachel Lundy, Hope for the Hard Days: A 30-Day Devotional for the Tired and Weary

“The hard days that you face are not without purpose. They may be the very tools that the Lord wants to use in your life to bring you closer to Him, to teach you obedience, and to teach you to delight in His precious and priceless Word.”
Rachel Lundy, Hope for the Hard Days: A 30-Day Devotional for the Tired and Weary

“God is sovereign over all things, and you can trust that He allows affliction in your life for a good purpose. Dear friend, I encourage you not to waste your affliction! Use your time of affliction to draw near to the Lord through reading His Word. Affliction is worth enduring in order that through it you might learn, and be changed by, God’s precious Word.”
Rachel Lundy, Hope for the Hard Days: A 30-Day Devotional for the Tired and Weary

“There are times when nothing holds the heart but a long, long look at Calvary. How very small anything that we are allowed to endure seems beside that Cross.”
Amy Carmichael

“Through God's grace, he gives us a wealth of resources to bear any burden he allows. Therefore, if God doesn't empty our cup of suffering or take it from us, he will give ample grace (favor, kindness, ability) to bear it.”
Jennifer Rothschild, God Is Just Not Fair: Finding Hope When Life Doesn’t Make Sense

“My hope is not in the absence of suffering and comfort returned. My hope is in the presence of the One who promises never to leave or forsake, the One who declares nothing “will be able to separate us from the love of God” (Rom. 8:39). Nothing.”
Kara Tippetts, The Hardest Peace: Expecting Grace in the Midst of Life's Hard

“Cancer is a gift. There, I said it. I can say that cancer and suffering give the beautiful gift of perspective. It is the gift you never wanted, the gift wrapped in confusion and brokenness and heartbreak. It’s the gift that strips all your other ideas of living from you completely. The beautiful, ugly raising to the surface of the importance of each and every moment.”
Kara Tippetts, The Hardest Peace: Expecting Grace in the Midst of Life's Hard

“It would be easier to shake my fist at the test results and scream that this isn’t the right story, but to receive—humbly receive—the story no one would ever want, and know there is goodness in the midst of its horror, is not something I could ever do in my own strength. I simply cannot. That receiving comes from the One who received His own suffering for a much greater purpose than my own.”
Kara Tippetts, The Hardest Peace: Expecting Grace in the Midst of Life's Hard
