Hope in Times of Loss
The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.—Psalm 34:18 (NIV)
Though the fig tree does not bud and there are no grapes on the vines, though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no food, though there are no sheep in the pen and no cattle in the stalls yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will be joyful in God my Savior.—Habakkuk 3:17-18, (NIV)
Author Bob Goff said, “Embrace uncertainty. Some of the most beautiful chapters in our lives won’t have a title until much later.” Very few people have mastered the art of embracing change. If you struggle with new situations ask God for help in feeling more secure. Know that He is always the same and He is always there.
Heavenly Father, help me release my fear of change and recognize that the only way I can grow is by living life fully and completely.

The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.—Psalm 34:18 (NIV)
