The Lord is close to the brokenhearted. He saved those who are crushed in spirit.
- Psalm 34:18
God, may we take deep breaths and remember You are with us, even in our lowest places. I’ve seen evidence of it over and over again this week. Even through streams of tears, I’ve sensed You draw so near and bring peace that makes no sense to have in light of what we’ve walked through this week. Peace that passes our understanding. This I’ve witnessed over and over, a sense of feeling carried through the unimaginable. The fact that we will celebrate Easter in a week feels so poignant to me….the most beautiful story I know, of Love beating death, making a way from the darkness of the grave to the light of life forever. Holding onto that hope this week, even as I grieve the deep losses we’ve experienced. Thank you for your prayers this week for us and our people. Please continue praying. I love you.
