Lifted: Devotions from a Heart That Chose to Rise is an invitation to rediscover grace when life feels heavy and hope seems far away.

There comes a point in every journey when we find ourselves standing in the middle of broken dreams and unanswered prayers, unsure what to do next. In those moments, God whispers the same truth He's spoken since the beginning - you don't have to climb your way out alone. His love still lifts.

Through fifty honest, heartfelt devotions, Monee D. Correll shares lessons born from her own seasons of surrender, rebuilding, and rediscovered faith. With gentleness and transparency, she explores the struggles that weigh on the soul - pride that blinds us, guilt that clings, shame that silences, and weariness that makes us forget who we are in Him.

Each devotion opens with Scripture and leads into personal reflection and prayer, offering encouragement for those who long to draw nearer to God in the middle of life's messiness. Readers will find themselves reminded that grace is not a reward for getting it right - it's a gift that meets us where we are and carries us where only love can go.

As you move through these pages, you'll find practical encouragement for the heart that's still healing, the mind that's still doubting, and the spirit that's still hoping. Whether you are learning to forgive yourself, release control, or trust again after loss, Lifted will help you see that God's mercy has never stopped pursuing you.

More than a devotional, Lifted is a record of redemption - a story of how God rebuilds what's been shattered and breathes life into what we thought was gone for good. It's for anyone who has fallen and wondered if they'd ever stand again. It's for those who crave peace, purpose, and the assurance that even when faith feels fragile, His strength is still enough.

No matter how low life takes you, His love still lifts.
