Scripture: Psalm 77:10
And I say, “It is my grief that the right hand of the Most High has changed.”
Thought for the Day: Anne Morrow Lindbergh was a woman who experienced great grief in the kidnapping and death of her first child. She wrote, “Grief can’t be shared. Everyone carries it alone. His own burden in his own way.” In grief’s most difficult moments, it often feels like a solo experience. Yet looking back at my own experiences of grief, I see both the divine presence and the body of Christ walking alongside me. Both of these companions assumed much more of the weight than I realized at the time. More than anything, God desires to see our grief transformed, yet this change does not come overnight. It is a journey, but a journey we take alone only if we choose.
Prayer: Make your presence known to me, O Lord, in my darkest hours. Even if it takes you knocking me upside the head with your spirit so that I know. Amen.
