  - Welcome
• 0:15
  - to the divine five one five podcast. Here
• 0:16
  - is today's prayer.
• 0:23
  - Hello, and welcome to today's daily prayers with
• 0:26
  - Valerie Rocha.
• 0:27
  - Today's prayer focus, we're talking about grieving what
• 0:30
  - you lost.
• 0:32
  - Scripture text comes from Psalms thirty four eighteen
• 0:34
  - and reads, the lord is close to the
• 0:36
  - brokenhearted
• 0:37
  - and saves those who are crushed in spirit.
• 0:41
  - Well, you know, not everything we release is
• 0:44
  - something we wanted to lose.
• 0:46
  - And sometimes moving forward involves grief.
• 0:50
  - And grief can look anything,
• 0:53
  - any way.
• 0:54
  - Sometimes it's a person, a relationship,
• 0:57
  - a dream, a home,
• 1:00
  - an opportunity,
• 1:02
  - or even a version of life we thought
• 1:04
  - we'd have.
• 1:07
  - In any case, it just leaves us in
• 1:11
  - a handful of tears.
• 1:14
  - But we can trust God and still grieve
• 1:17
  - what was lost.
• 1:19
  - And although it doesn't feel good,
• 1:22
  - ironically,
• 1:23
  - it is healthy.
• 1:26
  - But sometimes we rush ourselves through grief because
• 1:29
  - we believe moving forward means we should be
• 1:31
  - over it.
• 1:34
  - But healing isn't pretending something didn't matter,
• 1:40
  - and grief acknowledges that it did.
• 1:45
  - So you can't rush through it.
• 1:47
  - You can't run from it.
• 1:53
  - Cry,
• 1:54
  - take a deep breath,
• 1:57
  - and know that prayer helps.
• 2:00
  - It gives grief somewhere
• 2:03
  - that's safe to go,
• 2:05
  - and you don't have to arrive before God
• 2:08
  - with the right words.
• 2:10
  - In fact,
• 2:12
  - sometimes saying nothing might be the best
• 2:16
  - mode of action.
• 2:20
  - Wherever you are,
• 2:22
  - god can meet us
• 2:24
  - in grief without requiring us to hurry through
• 2:27
  - it.
• 2:29
  - That being said,
• 2:31
  - if you're grieving,
• 2:33
  - let's take it to the throne.
• 2:36
  - Heavenly father,
• 2:39
  - you know what we've lost
• 2:41
  - and
• 2:42
  - what is still missing.
• 2:46
  - We ask that you meet us in our
• 2:48
  - grief and heal the places that
• 2:51
  - remain
• 2:52
  - tender.
• 2:54
  - Give us grace for the process
• 2:57
  - and strength to move forward
• 2:59
  - at the pace you are leading us,
• 3:03
  - and we will bless you in Jesus' name.
• 3:07
  - Well,
• 3:09
  - I wanna encourage you to give yourself permission
• 3:13
  - to grieve and trust god at the same
• 3:15
  - time.
• 3:17
