Today’s Verse:
"He strengthens the bars of your gates and blesses your people within you. " - Psalm 147:13

Prayer for Today :

Heavenly Father,

Each hurt has a different life span. Something like divorce or separation has a long long long life span, especially bad if children are involved. Likewise, death has a long life span, too!

Dr. Joyce Brothers, whom husband Milt passed away in 1989. She grieved for over a year after his death. Three years later, in 1992, she published a book called "Widowed," inspired by the loss of her husband. The book offered practical advice for widows and widowers, helping them to cope with their grief and create a new life for themselves.

She quoted “Love comes when manipulation stops; when you think more about the other person than about his or her reactions to you. When you dare to reveal yourself fully. When you dare to be vulnerable.”

Yes, life hurts sometimes, but the main point is to "let go".

Father, whatever pain we're feeling today, help us to heal, through time. Father, we trust that You will help us to remove the scar that's still in our hearts.

Father, as it is written, You strengthen the bars of our gates and blesses our people within you.
Father, assist us to move on.

In Christ's glorious Name we pray, Amen.
