Hope in Times of Loss
The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.—Psalm 34:18 (NIV)
Then He said to them, “My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death. Stay here and keep watch with Me.”—Matthew 26:38 (NIV)
In Jesus’ dark night of the soul, He asked for the support of His friends. He had His own prayers to offer, and according to Luke, He had an angel come to strengthen Him. Yet, He asked the disciples to pray for Him. Praying for another in need is an act of love and friendship. Today, pray for your loved ones.
Jesus, remind me of the people You have blessed me with. Guide me, as I pray for them.
