Loss
5 Days of Being Comforted by God
Grief isn’t something we seek out. In fact, we often try to keep it at arm’s length—especially in a culture that prizes positivity. But as followers of Christ, grief is not something to avoid. It’s a sacred path through which we come to know the heart of God more deeply. Whether you're facing the death of a loved one, a health battle, or any kind of sorrow, our prayer is that this reading plan leads you to real comfort and lasting peace—found only in Jesus.

It is included for encouragement and edification.*
