Grief & Loss
Gentle hope for a heart that is grieving.
A Scripture
"The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit."
Psalm 34:18
A Little Hope
Grief does not follow a schedule and it does not mean you lack faith. Love that has nowhere to go has to land somewhere. God is not standing at a distance waiting for you to be okay. He is close, in the crying and the numb days both, and He is not rushing you.
Pray This
Lord, this hurts more than I can explain. I miss what I lost. Sit with me here. Hold the pieces I cannot hold together right now, and remind me that grief is not the end of the story You are writing. Amen.
