“God whispers to us in our pleasures, speaks in our conscience, but shouts in our pains.” C. S. Lewis
- God’s with you. “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted; he rescues those whose spirits are crushed,” Psalm 34:18
- God listens and responds. “I prayed to the Lord, and he answered me. He freed me from all my fears.” Psalm 34:4
- Acting like suffering isn’t happening does not represent Jesus. Lamenting pain, being honest about what we want to see change does represent Jesus. John 11:33-35

Much love to you all. May God give you grace and peace today.
