I don’t know what you’re going through. I don’t know what hopes have been dashed in your heart. I don’t know how desperate and confused you may feel. I don’t know how thin is the hope you’re clinging to or how obscured your view of God has become.
Maybe you have forgotten what it feels like to experience peace. Maybe the tide always seems too high.
And I’m so sorry.
But I am confident of a few things for you:
God is for you. You are never alone and defenseless in your battles.
God delights in the person that you are.
The truest thing about you is that YOU ARE HIS BELOVED. You don’t have to prove your worth to God.
There is nothing that God has not poured out for you. You are worth his time, attention, and energy.
Nothing compares to God’s shining love for you.
Because of God’s grace, you are capable of changing, adjusting, and growing.
You will never come to the end of God’s wisdom and compassion for you.
You will see God’s goodness.
Maybe those are more than a few things to be confident of? Maybe these are enough to get us through today? Or at least the next few moments.
It’s been a very long time since I made a screensaver to share with you. I have been watercoloring some designs that I’d love to turn into stickers or greeting cards one day, and I loved this one combined with the declaration of Psalm 27:13. You can click on the image below to save it to your phone.
Also, did you know I have a whole collection of screensavers you can download? You can find them all HERE.

As a person who has struggled with mental illness for around a quarter century now…this is a verse I cling to. Even in times when I cannot see His goodness…I hold tight to this truth. There is hope for more than just Heaven.
Thank you for this beautiful artwork – and the encouraging reminders.
Dear Lauren, thank you for being here and being a witness to hope in the darkness. I appreciate you. ❤️ Mary
Thank you for these beautiful words! I didn’t even know I needed to hear them, but they have given me a sense of peace.
I would love to see some stickers of your work!
So glad to hear that. ❤️ Thank you for being here. Also, I really really want to make stickers. Stay tuned! ❤️ Mary
Good Morning Marydean,
I have loved your paintings for a couple of years. I would love to use your screensavers on my phone, but don’t know how. It says “click on the image” and it gives me a bunch of options but I dont know how to do it (transfer it from my computer to my phone to use as a screensaver)
Thank you! On a computer, you should be able to right click and then save the image or download. Then you can attach to an email to yourself, open up email on your phone, and then download there. Then just set as your background in your phone settings! Hope that works for you! –Mary
Hi, Mary! Putting this beautiful screensaver on my phone now. Thank you for using your gifts to bless others. You are a gift from God to us, and we are grateful! ❤
Dear Joanna, thank you so much. 🥰💓🥰
