Sorry May Last for a Night, but Joy Comes in the Morning
By Christian Glory Ozioma
What if your deepest sorrow became the ground where your greatest joy could grow?
Naomi had her life planned, anchored in faith, grounded in purpose, and walking in obedience to God. But everything changes when she suddenly loses her job. The stability she once had shatters. Her identity feels shaken. Her once vibrant prayers are replaced with quiet despair. As her nights stretch into seasons of uncertainty, she begins to wonder, where is God in this?
But God is never absent, even in silence. Behind every moment of pain is a purpose He is preparing.
Through unexpected encounters, Naomi meets women who each carry their own testimony of God's faithfulness: a widowed prayer warrior, a worship leader recovering from burnout, and a single mother whose strength came through brokenness. Together, their stories breathe life into Naomi’s weary soul. Slowly, she begins to see God’s hand in every trial, and her heart starts to heal.
This inspiring Christian novel explores the powerful truth of Psalm 30:5, “Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning.” It is a story of restoration, rediscovery, and rising again after life’s hardest moments.
