Hope in Times of Loss
The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.—Psalm 34:18 (NIV)
Turn from evil and do good.—Psalm 34:14 (NIV)
When something bad happens, do you complain, dwell on the past and spread negativity? This Scripture tells us to do the opposite; not just to turn away from evil, but to do good. When you encounter anger, jealousy or hatred strive to make things better. Bring love and understanding to the problem.
Lord, restore me with Your peace. When I’m on the edge of losing my temper, give me the patience and foresight to return good for evil.

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

A person’s wisdom yields patience; it is to one’s glory to overlook an offense.—Proverbs 19:11 (NIV)

For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.—2 Timothy 1:7 (ESV)
