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, the wife of Charles Lindbergh, was a woman who experienced great grief after 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 flight. Yet looking back in my own experiences of grief (not to be compared to the death of a child), I see both the divine presence and the body of Christ walking alongside me and assuming 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 one 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.
