I hope this map will bring clarity to your grief journey

God's gentle hands are seeking each of us. He longs to give us restoring green pasture. God calls out to you and to me. My Beloved, "Where are you?"

God reveals another way for us to confront our giants! Instead of focusing on our limitations, we can view them through the lens of what God can accomplish. We can find courage to face our losses, remain open to love once more, and invite a friend over, even in moments of tears.

Lord Jesus, help us to lament alongside Jeremiah, help us to trust in your character, to know your promises are faithful, help us to pray, to rebuild Lord! Lord Jesus, please restore our hearts, our minds, our souls, our moments. Oh Lord, “Restore us to yourself, Lord, that we may return; renew our days as of old” (Lamentations 5:21).

God meets each of us right where we are at...“Then the Lord spoke to Job out of the storm”(Job 38:38).

Trusting, waiting, and following—this is the timeless journey of every individual, including ours.

Our hearts can feel like they are behind a locked door and there is no key to find a way in! Over the next several weeks, we are going to uncover ways Biblical Characters unlocked the doors to their hearts to let healing shine through.

Stick Close. Start a Conversation. Keep it Going. Keep it Simple. Be Present. =-)
