There are seasons when prayer alone doesn’t quiet the weight of grief—not because faith has failed, but because sorrow has deepened. This reflection explores how faith and professional support can walk together, reminding us that seeking help is not a weakness, but an act of wisdom and care for the soul.

Faith and grief are not opposites—they often walk hand in hand. When prayers feel fragile, emotions feel heavy, and belief feels thin, God does not turn away. This reflection explores what it means to hold onto God honestly, even when faith feels quiet, imperfect, or strained.

Grief is not limited to death. We grieve relationships that ended, dreams that never came to pass, identities that shifted, and expectations that quietly dissolved. This reflection names the losses that often go unseen and reminds us that what mattered to us still matters to God.

The calendar turns, but grief doesn’t follow schedules. If you entered this new year carrying loss, sorrow, or exhaustion you can’t explain, you are not alone. This reflection offers permission to begin gently—to honor what still hurts while trusting that God meets us in unfinished places, one quiet step at a time.

This series was created for those entering a new year carrying old wounds—losses that did not disappear when the clock struck midnight
