Hope in Times of Loss
The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.—Psalm 34:18 (NIV)
Why, Lord, do you stand far off? Why do you hide yourself in times of trouble?—Psalm 10:1 (NIV)
The Book of Psalms shows us that God doesn’t mind when we pray with frustration. He may not answer as we would like, but He wants us to come to Him with honest emotion. Sometimes the act of voicing our fears brings us closer to Him and understanding His will.
Dear Lord, I know You say You will never give me more than I can bear, but I want You to know, I’m not always thrilled that You think so much of me that You give me such a heavy load to carry.

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)
