And it came to pass, when I heard these words, that I sat down and wept, and mourned certain days, and fasted, and prayed before the God of heaven
Sometimes we are so overwhelmed by a dire situation that all we can do is weep and mourn. Sometimes our losses are so significant we wonder if our sorrow will ever end. We serve a God who will not turn away our weeping and mourning. He patiently bears with us as we pray through the pain, leading us in His time to comfort, healing, and new action.
Father, I bring You my pain, sorrow, and grief. Under the weight of loss, I come to You seeing comfort and rest. I want this pain to go away, but I don’t know how to stop it. Thank You, Lord, for hearing me through the crying and giving me refuge. Bind my wounds and give me new strength to rise and keep going. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
Life can be likened to a bouquet of roses, each with its unique charm. Some roses sparkle like raindrops, while others lose their luster in the absence of sunlight. Some roses wilt away with time, while others bloom in a kaleidoscope of colors. Some roses sag with drooping petals, while others captivate with their beauty. However, it is vital to acknowledge that the perception of beauty resides in the eyes of the beholder.
