Hope in Times of Loss
The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.—Psalm 34:18 (NIV)
For the Spirit God gave us does
not make us timid, but gives us
power, love and self-discipline.—2 Timothy 1:7 (NIV)
Progress is impossible without change. Yet many fear taking a leap towards something better. Instead, we stay in jobs we don’t like or relationships that have problems. If there is something in your life that needs to change, pray. Use this verse as an affirmation to help you have the bravery to move forward. You are not alone. Blessings lie ahead.
Dear God, help me to face the changes I should make in my life; grant me the courage to leap.

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

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