Dena Johnson Ministries is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization devoted to sharing the good news that God brings beauty out of broken lives. Founder Dena Johnson lived through her own personal devastation that almost destroyed her faith. Instead, she found God faithful and loving and redemptive. As she saw the pieces of her life put back together, Dena became passionate about helping others find the God who is near the broken-hearted.

Tonight, December 21, 2020, shortly after sunset, I will be outside peering into the western sky, looking for the 2020 Christmas star. But I don’t see it as just a once-in-a-lifetime astronomical event. No, I will see a promise that my Father is faithful. I will see a reminder that He hasn’t forgotten us.
Answering the question, “Is God good?” might be the single most important question for you to wrestle with in the midst of your pain.
Perhaps you too feel as if this year has been a nightmare, destroying your peace and security. Perhaps you feel as if your very life is crumbling, collapsing. Perhaps you can no longer hold in the tears, no longer pretend everything is just fine.
How will we view 2020 years from now? Will we still have 2020 vision? Or will we have 20/20 vision?
In this crazy, chaotic life in which you live, it is so hard to carve out time before you to simply be still, to feel your presence and know you are God.
The emotions rushed through my body as the tears flowed freely.
Father God, we come to you utterly broken over the condition of our country. It is disheartening to see the division, the hatred, the intolerance.
