About the Book
This year-long devotional invites you into simple, everyday practices and Scriptural truths to bring you hope in the midst of suffering and loss.
This year-long devotional invites you into simple, everyday practices and Scriptural truths to bring you hope in the midst of suffering and loss. Whether your sorrow is recent, you’ve long felt the pain of a loved one’s absence, or you’re lamenting a difficult situation, this book is an honest companion, offering validation for the hard days and support through the psychological stages of grief.
Author Mattie Jackson draws from her experience of grieving the sudden death of her young husband to walk with you from a place of heartache to one of healing and peace. Each one-page devotion provides a daily reminder that God is near to the brokenhearted, His mercies are never- ending, and He can be trusted. Along with helpful reflection questions and gentle prayers, the entries show you how to engage four essential practices on your journey:
• Wail for what you’ve lost to overcome feelings of denial.
• Connect with the world around you to defend against isolation.
• Worship with honesty to push away bitterness and doubt.
• Hope for your future to guide you through despair and toward acceptance.
These devotions honor our human fragility and direct us to the God who helps us navigate our pain and restores our hearts. There are tears to be shed and is hope to be found even here in the valley.
