Grief

Lord, I grieve. The cloud of it is heavy for me, and my many friends who have lost loved ones in the past months live under rays of sadness as they move forward in their lives. I long to encourage them, yet as the numbers increase, I falter. The time feels dark as I tire. Lord, help me understand as I pray for them, and as I, too, share in their losses, that your wings lift me up and the weight is not mine. Thank you for this long weekend coming up. Your spirit restores me. May I rest in you. Psalm 23:2 "He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters, 3 he refreshes my soul." Father, your love and your promises are treasures, and light in the darkness. Thank you Father.
