Bible Verse:
“He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.” – Psalm 91:1 (WEBBE)
Reflection:
As we walk through the dark valleys of grief, it’s easy to feel as though we are alone. The weight of loss can cloud our vision and make it hard to remember that God is near. Yet, in the moments when we feel most vulnerable, God’s Word reassures us that He is a constant presence, waiting to offer us comfort and refuge.
Psalm 91:1 paints a beautiful picture of God’s protection and the peace that comes from resting in His presence. To dwell in the “secret place of the Most High” is to choose to make God our dwelling place, a sanctuary where we find safety and serenity. His shadow is a place of shelter, where the storms of life lose their power to harm us.
When you are grieving, remember that God’s shadow is not distant or unreachable; it is an invitation to draw close and find peace. Though the darkness may still be around you, within His shadow, there is a light that can guide you, a strength that will sustain you, and a comfort that will soothe your broken heart.
Today, take a moment to seek refuge in the Lord. Imagine yourself resting in His shadow, safe and protected, held close by the One who sees your pain and cares for you deeply. The road ahead may be uncertain, but His promise stands firm: He is with you, even in your darkest hour, and will uphold you with His righteous right hand (Isaiah 41:10).
Reflection: How can you make time today to draw near to God and experience the peace that comes from resting in His presence?
Prayer:
Lord, I come to you weary and brokenhearted. Help me to find refuge in your loving shadow, where I am safe and cared for. Teach me to dwell in your presence each day and lean on your strength. Though I walk through the valley of grief, I will not fear, for you are with me. Your comfort and love are my assurance. Amen.
Find hope in your darkest hour.
