🌿 January 9 Grief Support Devotional: “Hope Is Still With You”

“Hope Is Still With You”

Scripture:

“Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort.”— 2 Corinthians 1:3 (KJV)

Grief can make hope feel fragile.Some days it feels close, other days it feels just out of reach. You may worry that as you grieve, hope is slipping away—but God wants you to know something important today:

Hope has not left you.

Hope is not dependent on how you feel.It doesn’t vanish on hard days.It doesn’t disappear when tears come.

Hope rests in who God is—the Father of mercies,the God of all comfort,the One who meets you exactly where you are.

Comfort does not always remove the pain, but it steadies you within it. God’s comfort wraps around your heart when emotions rise and reminds you that love and sorrow can exist together.

Today, you may not feel hopeful—and that’s okay. God supplies comfort first, and hope follows gently behind. Even now, He is working quietly in your heart, strengthening what feels weak and restoring what feels worn.

Hope is still with you—not loud,not rushed,but present, faithful, and growing.

💛 Prayer:

Lord,Thank You for being the God of all comfort. When grief makes hope feel fragile, remind me that You are near. Surround my heart with Your mercy and let hope rise gently within me as You heal and restore. I place my trust in You today.In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
