Hope in this passage arises within a book of profound sorrow. Its words should not be used to silence people who are hurting. Let hope and lament stand together as you read.
A question to sit with
What form of care would help you keep going?
Pray
Merciful God, sustain me in what is difficult and teach me compassion for others. Amen.
Carry it into the day
Receive one small kindness instead of dismissing it.
