How precious are your thoughts about me, O God. They cannot be numbered!
Psalm 139:17
The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is upon me, for the Lord has anointed me to bring good news to the poor. He has sent me to comfort the brokenhearted and to proclaim that captives will be released and prisoners will be freed.
He has sent me to tell those who mourn that the time of the Lord's favor has come, and with it, the day of God's anger against their enemies.
Isaiah 61:1,2
God blesses those who mourn, for they will be comforted.
Matthew 5:4
Comforter, be with those who are grieving. Guide them under the fold of your wings and keep them safe from the world's questions and judgments. Their lives and concerns matter, so we lift them up to you. Amen.
