Sadness & Loss
🏔️ Weeping beside Jeremiah 9:10
When weeping is loud, Jeremiah 9:10 is a sentence you can borrow. “I will weep and wail for the mountains, and lament for the pastures of the wilderness, because they are burned up, so that no one passes through; Men can’t hear the voice of the livestock. Both the birds of the sky and the animals have fled. They are gone.” 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 9:10 is a companion, not a fix-it line. The other two verses are for a second night if this one is enough.
