Life brings seasons of joy and seasons of sorrow. For many, the weight of grief, loss, or uncertainty feels overwhelming. In these moments, the words of Scripture remind us that we are not alone: “Mourn with those who mourn” (Romans 12:15). We believe God calls us to:

‍

Grieve with those who grieve – sitting together in sorrow without rushing through the pain.‍

Mourn with those who mourn – acknowledging loss and honoring the hurt.

Encourage one another with hope – pointing to the One who carries us and promises restoration.

A few passages to anchor your soul at this time:

"I pray that God, the source of hope, will fill you completely with joy and peace because you trust in him. Then you will overflow with confident hope through the power of the Holy Spirit." Romans 15:13

Guided Prayer: Holy Spirit, breathe Your hope into the places inside me that feel empty or uncertain. Fill me again with Your joy and peace. Teach me to trust You even when I cannot see the way forward. Let Your hope rise within me until it overflows and steadies my heart. I pray all this in Jesus name, Amen

"Let your unfailing love surround us, Lord, for our hope is in you alone." Psalm 33:22

Guided Prayer: Dear God, I am afraid to admit that I have lost hope in this season of my life. Help me dare to hope again. Remind me that Your faithfulness isn’t fragile and Your mercies never run out. Renew my strength today with the grace of a new morning. Anchor my heart in the truth that You are with me and You will not fail me. Give me assurance that you will be with me wherever I go and throughout whatever I experience. I pray all this in Jesus name, Amen

‍

"He heals the brokenhearted and bandages their wounds." Psalm 147:3

Guided Prayer: Jesus, You see every wound, every cry, every hurt, every word spoken and unspoken that have caused pain in my life. I invite You into the tender places of my heart. Bring Your healing to what feels shattered. Bandage what is bleeding. Restore what is bruised. Heal my mind, body and soul. Thank You for being gentle with me as I heal. I pray all this in Jesus name, Amen

"The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of all the earth. He never grows weak or weary. No one can measure the depths of his understanding. He gives power to the weak and strength to the powerless. Even youths will become weak and tired, and young men will fall in exhaustion. But those who trust in the Lord will find new strength. They will soar high on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not faint." Isaiah 40:28-31

Guided Prayer: Lord, I bring You my tiredness, my weary body, my aching soul, and my exhausted mind. Lift the weight of all that I am carrying right now. I name these things to you today______________________. Renew my strength where I feel drained. Give me courage to go another day. Help me trust You enough to rest in You. Breathe new life into me until I soar again with the strength You promise. I pray all this in Jesus name, Amen

“Cast all your anxiety ( and worries) on Him because He cares for you.” 1 Peter 5:7 emphasis added

‍

“Praise be to the God…who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God.” 2 Corinthians 1:3–4

‍

"Then Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens,
and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am
humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy
to bear, and the burden I give you is light.” Matthew 11:28-30

‍

"And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither
death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries
about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love. No
power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be
able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord." Romans 8:38-39

Guided Prayer: Jesus, thank You for a love that holds me when everything else feels uncertain. Let this truth settle deep inside me: nothing, absolutely nothing, can separate me from Your love. When fear rises, remind me that Your love stays. When I worry about tomorrow, steady me with Your presence. When the weight of life feels heavy, surround me with Your peace. Pull my heart close to Yours and silence the lies that say I’m alone, forgotten, or not enough. Let Your love become my anchor, my confidence, and my rest. Thank You that in every season, in every battle, in every quiet moment of doubt, I am fully known and fully loved by You. Hold me in this love today, in which I am always secure, safe, and steady in Your arms. I pray all this in Jesus name, Amen

"For this is how God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, so that
everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. God sent his Son
into the world not to judge the world, but to save the world through him. There is no
judgment against anyone who believes in him. But anyone who does not believe in him
has already been judged for not believing in God’s one and only Son.” John 3:16-18

Guided Prayer: Dear God Thank You for a love so great that You gave Your one and only Son for us. Let this truth move from my mind into my heart, reminding me that Your love isn’t distant or hesitant. It is generous, self-giving, and pursuing. Jesus, thank You for coming not to condemn, but to save. When I feel unworthy or overwhelmed by my faults, remind me that You came to bring life, not shame. Help me rest in the freedom You offer through Your sacrifice. Where fear of judgment tries to take root, replace it with the assurance of Your grace. Where doubt whispers that I’m not enough, speak again that You came because You saw me, loved me, and wanted me. Teach me to receive this gift of eternal life with humility and gratitude. Let Your love transform my choices, soften my heart, and shape the way I love others. Thank You for a love that saves, restores, and welcomes me home again and again. Amen
