For Collective Grief
Ask
Today’s blessing says, “Blessed are we who ask and wait, and ask again for answers that may not come, for hope that seems hard to find, for comfort that is not easily found.” What are the answers you wait for, that may not come?
Do
Right now, people across the country and world are feeling collective grief on many different scales. The grief that comes with the loss of those who have died due to COVID-19. The war in Ukraine. And too often, we wake to the news of another mass shooting. Getting involved in your community—even in small ways—can help the collective grieving process. Consider the ways in which your community needs to heal. Are there ways you can help and get involved? Our team loves the work of Together Rising who “transforms collective heartbreak into effective action.”
Pray
Hear my cry, O God, listen to my prayer; from the end of the earth I call to you when my heart is faint. Lead me to the rock that is higher than I, for you have been my refuge, a strong tower against the enemy. Let me dwell in your tent forever! Let me take refuge under the shelter of your wings. Amen. (Psalm 61:1-4)
