🙏 In times of loss and grief, it can be incredibly challenging to find comfort and healing.

Psalm 30:5 - "Weeping may stay for the night, but rejoicing comes in the morning." 🌅

Romans 12:15 - "Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn." 🌈
- In our own grief, it is important to remember to support and empathize with others who are also experiencing loss. By sharing in their sorrow, we can lighten their burden and provide comfort.

But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also." 💖
- Loss reminds us of the transient nature of earthly possessions. It teaches us to focus on the eternal treasures we have in heaven and to prioritize our relationship with God above all else.
Psalm 23:4 - "Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me." 🌳

Mark 8:34-38 – "Then he called the crowd to him along with his disciples and said: 'Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me. For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me and for the gospel will save it. What good is it for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul? Or what can anyone give in exchange for their soul? If anyone is ashamed of me and my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will be ashamed of them when he comes in his Father’s glory with the holy angels.'"

James 1:12-15 – "Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him. When tempted, no one should say, 'God is tempting me.' For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone; but each person is tempted when they are dragged away by their own evil desire and enticed. Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death."
