Psalm 34:17-18
“17 When the righteous cry for help, the Lord hears and delivers them out of all their troubles.
18 The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit.”
Psalm 91:1-2
1 Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
2 I will say of the Lord, ‘He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.’”

“Darla, tell us about your dad and what you remember most about the season when your dad was sick.
What did it feel like losing him at such a young age? Were you ever made at God?
God Sees Our Pain
Lanita, your grief story looks very different. Would you share with us about the season when your marriage ended?
What did those early days feel like as you suddenly found yourself raising your kids alone?
Where you ever made a God?
God Presence In The Pain
Looking back, where do you now see God’s hand in that season loss & grief?
Was there a moment you sensed God giving strength you didn’t have on your own?
How did grief change your relationship with God?
Redemption & Hope Lanita, tell us about this photo and how it reflects God’s redemption in your life?
What hope would you give to someone whose marriage has ended or who is raising children alone?

Darla, How has losing your father shaped the woman you are today?
What would you say to a young person facing a painful loss today?
A while back, you wrote a song you shared with me that you felt the lyrics would testify to the journey many are or have been on.
