Sadness & Loss
💧 Tears beside Deuteronomy 15:9
When tears is loud, Deuteronomy 15:9 is a sentence you can borrow. “Beware that there not be a wicked thought in your heart, saying, “The seventh year, the year of release, is at hand”; and your eye be evil against your poor brother, and you give him nothing; and he cry to Yahweh against you, and it be sin to you.” 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. Deuteronomy 15:9 is a companion, not a fix-it line. The other two verses are for a second night if this one is enough.
