When Lucinda Ulbricht’s baby boy was born prematurely and died two hours later, she didn’t know how she would survive the grief. Already living with the confusing nightmare of an abusive relationship, she tried escaping from the pain with alcohol, sinking deeper and deeper into depression and anxiety. Finally it grew so severe that she began asking God to come to her in the night and take her home. God did come to her in the night … but not with the intention she expected. Instead of taking her home with Him, He spoke to Lucinda clearly and firmly about the steps He wanted her to take.

That was in early 1995, and Lucinda’s life hasn’t been the same since. Make no mistake, though: although she immediately felt more peaceful, she had to learn how to follow God’s middle-of-the-night directions in her daily life. Through this process, she experienced the joy and healing that comes from turning everything over to God and trusting Him completely.

Difficult as it is for us to comprehend, God really is capable of a personal and unique relationship with each of us and is eager to shower us with blessings and acts of love. Lucinda includes practical tips for coping with addiction, loss, and abusive relationships as well as cultivating a richer, deeper intimacy with God. Regardless of your circumstances, her story will give you hope and help you on your journey toward the joyful life God intended for you.
