Theme: Jesus Understands My Heart

“Even in laughter the heart may be sad, and the end of joy may be sorrow.” Proverbs 14:13


Day 2: It’s Okay to Feel Sad Sometimes

Bible Verse:
“The Lord is close to the brokenhearted…” Psalm 34:18a

Devotion:
God doesn’t say we should never feel sad. In fact, when we do, He comes even closer. Sadness is a feeling, and Jesus understands it. When we cry or feel confused, He wraps us in His arms. You don’t need to pretend, you can just be real with Him

Questions to Ponder:

  • What makes me feel sad sometimes?
  • Can I imagine Jesus sitting beside me when I cry?

Prayer:
Jesus, thank You for coming close when I’m sad. I don’t have to hide anything from You. Help me remember that You are with me, even when I don’t feel okay. Amen

Night Light Thought:
Jesus comes closer when my heart feels heavy
