Sadness & Loss
🏔️ Weeping beside Ezra 10:1
When weeping is loud, Ezra 10:1 is a sentence you can borrow. “Now while Ezra prayed and made confession, weeping and casting himself down before God’s house, there was gathered together to him out of Israel a very great assembly of men and women and children; for the people wept very bitterly.” 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. Ezra 10:1 is a companion, not a fix-it line. The other two verses are for a second night if this one is enough.
