Job 5:10-11

[H]e gives rain on the earth and sends waters on the fields; he sets on high those who are lowly, and those who mourn are lifted to safety.

Maybe you have lost a loved one. Maybe you have lost your health. Maybe you have relocated and left good friends behind. Maybe the love of your life has left you behind. Grief is our response to many different forms of loss. Moving through mourning is a process that makes necessary progress only when our eyes are on the Lord.

Look around you and see the work of God. He provides the needed water for plants, crops, and flowers highlighting the countryside. If he cares that much for the plants, how much more does he care for you!

Grief is natural, but God responds to us in a supernatural way. He never leaves us alone. He never abandons us. He gives us what we need right when we need it. He meets us where we are but doesn’t leave us there. He reaches down to those feeling low and lifts them up. He embraces those who are mourning and brings them to a safe place. Look up! He is reaching out to you!

Talking Points

• Thank God for providing everything you need.
• Thank God for reaching out to you. Experience his peace that passes all understanding.

Father, someone reading this is very low. Please lift them up. Someone else reading this is in the pit of grief. Please lift them to safety. Please do your supernatural work. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
