'We have been taught through Scripture that sorrow is only temporary and that no matter what the situation looks like we can trust God that hope and healing are on the way. Psalm 30:5 says, 'Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning." So when you find yourself in the middle of what appears to be a dead
situation, remember this verse and be encouraged. Your resurrection is on its way!"
