Day 3 of Spreading Gratitude
Reading: Psalm 30:1-5
"Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning." This promise doesn't deny the reality of pain—it acknowledges it while pointing to hope beyond it. Life brings genuine grief: illness, loss, disappointment, broken relationships. God doesn't ask us to pretend these don't hurt. Instead, He invites us to bring our weeping to Him, trusting that He holds both our nights and our mornings. Brittany's story of near-death reminds us how quickly life can change, yet also how faithfully God sustains us through crisis. Your current night season doesn't define your story's ending. Morning is coming. God's faithfulness outlasts every dark hour. Today, acknowledge your weeping honestly before God, then ask Him to help you watch for the dawn.
