Grief Devotional

Destination: Hope takes you on the journey of a young widow who loses her husband at the age of 27 while five months pregnant with three young children. It also captures her grief, trauma, and brokenness, and her transformation to becoming whole. It takes you from Day 1 of the sting of widowhood to Day 31 of discovering a new hope in Jesus. Losing someone very dear to you can be traumatizing, which comes with its own negative impact on one’s mental state. Therefore, the author invites you, and anyone else struggling with grief, on this candid heartfelt journey to share in her experiences ...

The apostle Peter described faith as "much more precious than gold that perishes". As gold passes through purifying fire, so Peter says a man's faith must be tried in order that it "might be found unto praise and honor and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ" (1 Peter 1:7). While we address the crises in our lives that try our faith, we rarely praise God the way Job did, and we rarely submit ourselves to the purifying fire as Peter suggests.
