One of the great things about following the Lord Jesus Christ is the fact that He is always with us…every hour and every day. He knows our struggles and sorrows. The Bible gives us many encouraging verses that are often of great comfort when we are grieving some kind of sorrow or loss in our lives. If you are in the midst of some hardship or loss today, just know that God knows about it and wants to speak with you. I encourage you to read these verses prayerfully and let God minister to you through His Holy Spirit.

Sometimes newer Christians are surprised when they still have sorrows or sadness after turning to Jesus Christ. The Bible never tells us that things will ever be perfect until the return of Christ one day. But the Bible does give us the Word of God (the Bible) that will minister to us in all situations in life including times of need. We need to rely on God and His word and know that God will not forsake us. Not for one moment will God forget or forsake us. God is constant. God is Holy and good and sovereign. He knows all and wants us to feel his presence daily in our lives. Turn to Him today.
Praise the Lord,
