When Life Seems Lost
A 7-Day Devotional for the Weary and Hopeful Heart
“And the LORD heard the voice of Elijah; and the soul of the child came into him again, and he revived.” 1 Kings 17:22
For the heart that aches for new breath… and trusts God to restore.
Introduction
The God of Revival
There are moments in life when it feels like the breath has left something we love. A dream falters. A relationship breaks. A soul once vibrant in faith now lies still. We know the ache of watching something precious slip away, while still holding onto the hope that God isn’t finished. That’s what makes the story of Elijah and the widow in 1 Kings 17:17–23 so timeless. In a quiet upper room, far from the noise of the world, God did what only He could do, He revived.
This seven-day devotional invites you to climb the stairs with Elijah, to walk through the shadows of sorrow, and to witness the mercy of a God who hears and responds. Each devotion is rooted in Scripture and shaped with a heart to help you believe again, not just in the idea of revival, but in the living reality of it.
Revival isn’t only for nations or large crowds. It starts in lofts and living rooms. In hearts that ache. In hands that stretch out in faith. In prayers whispered through tears.
Whether you’re in a season of loss, standing in the gap for someone else, or simply needing your own soul to breathe again, this journey is for you. Because the same God who revived a lifeless child through the prayers of a faithful prophet still moves today. And just maybe, before these pages are done, you’ll hear Him whisper, “See, it lives.”
