Episode 6 - Her Birthday, His Strength: Grieving with God

Send us a text

Today would have been my mom’s birthday. As I walk through the ache of missing her, I'm reminded that even in our deepest sorrow, God's strength carries us. In this heartfelt episode of In His Strength, I share what it feels like to grieve with hope, remembering the woman who always believed in me. I can still hear her words: “If anyone can do it, you can do it!”—a reminder that God often speaks through the ones who love us most.

Even though she’s no longer here, her faith and encouragement continue to echo in my heart. Through tears, memories, and the strength only God can give, I’ve learned how to keep going.

“My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” 2 Corinthians 12:9

Whether you’re walking through loss or standing beside someone who is, I pray this episode brings comfort and reminds you that God is near to the brokenhearted.

Heavenly Father,

Thank You for the gift of my mom—for her love, her strength, and the way she always believed in me. On what would have been her birthday, my heart aches with missing her, but I cling to the truth that You are close to the brokenhearted and that Your strength is made perfect in weakness.

Lord, for every listener walking through grief, I pray Your comfort surrounds them. Let them feel Your nearness in the silence, Your peace in the tears, and Your hope in the moments that feel too heavy to carry.

Help us to remember that our loved ones are never truly gone when they’ve known You—they are safe in Your presence, and we will see them again. Until then, help us live with courage, walk in faith, and lean on Your everlasting arms.

We trust You. We need You. We love You.

In Jesus’ name,

Amen.

Thank you for listening. My prayer is that you found encouragement and hope today, In His Strength!
