Ash Wednesday begins the season of Lent—a time for reflection, repentance, and renewal when Christians are invited to prepare themselves for the celebration of the Lord’s resurrection. Throughout the forty weekdays and six Sundays in Lent, pray and reflect on God’s renewing power.

Emotions—love them or hate them—we’ve all got them. And we’ve all got to figure out what to do with them. But wait. Can we do anything about emotions? Can we learn how to identify, express, experience—and yes, sometimes wrangle—our feelings in order to live a vibrant, healthy life for Jesus? These devotions will equip you with the Biblical perspectives and practical tools you need to thrive.

God is the best source of comfort you will find. He knows you better than anyone else does, and he is full of understanding for every situation. Lay your heart at the Father’s feet and wait for his compassionate response. As you read these devotions taken from "Joy and Strength: 365 Devotions for Grief and Loss" let God be your strength as you cry out to him.
