စံးထီၣ်ပတြၢၤ 143:9

How do you move on after a tragic loss? When you feel you’ve lost the only good thing in life and you will never feel normal again? When you feel overcome by sadness and grief, you need to know there’s a God who understands and wants to comfort you. In this plan, you will learn that by choosing to focus on love, hope, and joy you can survive your grief.

Natural disasters—such as hurricanes, earthquakes, floods, fires, tornadoes, even pandemics—often strike without warning. The shock, fear and sense of outrage can be overwhelming, leaving you feeling completely helpless and abandoned. In the midst of devastation and loss, be assured that God is with you—loving you and caring for you, “always ready to help in times of trouble” (Psalm 46:1).

The feeling might be familiar: the flush of embarrassment flooding your body, maybe a pit in your stomach, or your shoulders feeling tense. Every part of you wants to run away or hide. The feeling is called shame, and it’s not from God. So what do we do with shame? What does God actually think of us? And how can we embrace who we truly are? Join Change Conference in this 5-day devotional where we'll learn to scrap the shame and embrace how God sees us and who He's calling us to be.

These daily readings reveal how God is the ultimate Comforter in the face of trials and hardship. This devotional is based on Through the Eyes of Hope by Lacey Buchanan.
