Sadness & Loss
🌾 Mourning beside Jeremiah 23:10
When mourning is loud, Jeremiah 23:10 is a sentence you can borrow. “For the land is full of adulterers; for because of the curse the land mourns. The pastures of the wilderness have dried up. Their course is evil, and their might is not right;” The other two verses on this page stay with the same need.

Parent tip
If the feeling is bigger than a verse, stay in the room. Jeremiah 23:10 is a companion, not a fix-it line. The other two verses are for a second night if this one is enough.
