Grief and Loss

Introspection & Depth

Scripture

Lamentations 3:32-33

“Though he brings grief, he will show compassion, so great is his unfailing love. For he does not willingly bring affliction or grief to the children of men.”

Devotion

October acknowledges loss. Leaves fall. Life retreats. Seasons die. Scripture teaches that grief is real and has place. October invites you to grieve what you have lost—relationships, dreams, innocence, time. Grieve fully. Let sorrow have its season. Grief honored becomes wisdom.

Today’s Step

What loss can you grieve this October? What do you need to mourn?

Prayer

God, help me to grieve well. Help me to honor what is lost. Help my grief to teach me and transform me.
