S – Samuel (Soldier)

I’ve seen things in the military that I can’t unsee, and every day I battle the weight of those memories. The silence after a mission, the loneliness when I’m away from family—it’s suffocating sometimes. Last night, as I lay awake in my bunk, I whispered a prayer, 'God, heal my heart. I’m broken, and I need You to make me whole again.' The next day, I received a letter from home. A simple note, but the words felt like a lifeline. Prayer doesn’t always change the circumstances, but it gives me the strength to keep moving forward, one day at a time.
