Psalm 38:8

Grieving is not weakness. It’s a necessary step on the road to healing. In this study, you will explore God's Word and reflect on what grieving is, healthy grieving, and when grieving is difficult. This study is part 3 of the Never Alone: Trauma Healing series. While written for the military community, the themes apply to anyone who has experienced intense trials and wants to heal.

Translucent is the name of my latest album, and I believe there are no songs without lived experiences. So, based on my reflections, I wanted to create this devotional—a journey where we explore how integrity, vulnerability, and a heart open to God’s transformation allow us to live authentically and with purpose. Together, we’ll discover how embracing His work in us—both in who we are and who we are becoming—enables us to reflect the light of Christ in every aspect of our lives.

One word is all it takes to turn a day around and set your mind on the never-ending power of God’s work in your life. These delightful meditations explore themes in unexpected words from daily Scripture verses. In this 5-day devotional journey, you’ll discover a mighty God who is there for you, who calls you into glory, and whom you can invite into your day with just one word.
