learn to comfort yourself through prayer instead of always depending on the people around you. there are moments when words from others fall short, and all you really need is a quiet conversation with God. In prayer, you can be honest about your fears, your exhaustion, and the things you cannot say out loud. It brings a gentle kind of peace one that feels personal, grounding, and steady reminding you that even when you feel alone, you are never truly on your own.
Good Friday feels heavier for me this year. Jesus really died for us. He really took on that pain, that suffering, that sacrifice… for us. The thought alone makes me so emotional. But even still, it is a sign of the good to come. We serve an awesome God.
