Description

God is near, and he wants you to find rest.

"God is always near, even when we feel a million miles away."

So many Christian women find themselves exhausted. Distracted. Running on caffeine and cortisol, scurrying from task to task, juggling the never-ending demands of motherhood, marriage, work, and life—and somewhere in the middle of all of it, they’ve drifted.

If that’s you, you're not alone.

We are living in uncertain and often chaotic times, and more and more of us are finding ourselves emotionally and spiritually depleted. We're craving deeper connection, comfort, and hope, yet we’re unable to quiet the noise long enough to find it. We know God is supposed to be enough. We just can't seem to slow down enough to let him be.

Ever With You is the invitation back.

Through honest storytelling, biblical insight, and practical wisdom, author Monika Kirkland vulnerably shares her own journey through burnout, anxiety, and spiritual emptiness, and the profound simplicity of what brought her back. What she discovered changed everything: it was never about doing more. It was about encountering the God who was always near.

Divided into two parts, Ever With You will help readers:

  • Trade exhaustion for intimacy. Through the transforming power of prayer, learning to hear God's voice, interceding for others, fasting, and experiencing inner healing
  • Trade distraction for connection. By reorienting your life around Christ and cultivating simple, sustainable spiritual rhythms that actually fit your real life


This isn't about a “good Christian” checklist. It's not another thing to add to your already-full plate. It's an open hand. An invitation to slow down, take a breath, and discover that the God you've been straining to reach has been right here all along.

Ever With You is for the woman who loves God but feels far from him. For the soul that is hungry but hasn't known where to turn. For anyone who has ever stood in front of a mirror, barely recognizing themselves, and whispered, “something has to change.”

It can. And it starts here.

“In the overwhelming chaos that can sometimes describe our days, Ever With You is a beacon of hope and a breath of fresh air. It felt like I was sitting down with a dear friend who gets me and getting to draw strength and courage from her deep well that’s been cultivated through her time with Jesus. Thank you, Monika, for reminding me that even when it doesn’t feel like it, Jesus is always right there, and is always working for our good. Your words felt like a hand reaching out to invite me to keep going, keep praying, and keep trusting him.”

—Kara Stott, author of An Intentional Life

“Monika Kirkland’s Ever With You: Becoming Fully Awake to the God Who Is Near invites the reader into a heartfelt journey of awakening to God’s constant presence. Through personal reflection, she gently exposes barriers that keep us from deeper intimacy with him and calls us toward inner revival. I found myself drawn into my own longing to be more present as her message to “be here now” reminded me that spiritual growth comes not from striving, but from receiving—opening our hearts to God’s presence and power through prayer and other rhythms. Monika’s book is for all of us who are hungry for more of God.”

—Kristin Nave, podcaster, author, and Bible teacher

“Through personal stories and the foundation of Scripture, Monika provides a relatable and practical guide that beckons her readers towards a greater intimacy with God. Monika writes as a person who is no stranger to pain and burnout, but also as one who has experienced the freedom and comfort that a life with Jesus offers. If you struggle to feel a connection with Jesus, Ever With You invites revival to your weary soul, pointing us to the peace we all crave. This is a must-read.”

—Kristen Hallinan, author of Legacy Changer
