When Ebie Hepworth’s life drained of color into dark nights of sorrow, her cries out to God seemed to go unanswered. Perhaps you’ve experienced this too and wonder what to do with these seasons where God is seemingly silent, and you’re exhausted by waiting on Him.

Here’s the truth: Each of us have experienced a spiritual midnight. Each of us knows what it is to look out the window of our lives, wondering if we will ever spot the sun’s rays peeking through the trees again. But sometimes, in our desperation for the light, we miss the quiet mercy of what God is revealing in the dark.

What Ebie Hepworth found is that hope, like DNA, has its own genetic code: Grieving, Contending, Awaiting, and Thanksgiving. By pairing these truths with imagined conversations with Sarah, the wife of Abraham, Ebie found the borrowed courage to lift her eyes toward God in the middle of the darkest night. And together, they offer you a way to bridge our modern struggles with timeless biblical truths. 

If you are navigating life’s deepest valleys, this book is for you—for those standing in the tension between faith and reality, between what you thought God would do and what remains unseen. If you have felt the ache of silence and wondered if hope is going to let you down again, come rediscover where true hope is found and how it can grow confident and durable within you in the midnight hours.
