How Are You Feeling+FollowTo anyone who feels disappointed that faith didn’t protect them from loss I thought believing would soften the blows. Not remove them—but at least make them lighter. Then I noticed something about Naomi. She believed. She followed God’s people. And still, she buried her husband and sons. Scripture doesn’t say her faith failed. It says her life emptied. Naomi doesn’t get corrected for her grief. She gets accompanied through it. If loss has made you question what faith was supposed to do, the Bible doesn’t rush to defend God. It stays with you in the emptiness first. #FaithAndLoss #Naomi #BiblicalComfort #GriefAndBelief #ChristianLife10Share
How Are You Feeling+FollowTo anyone who feels bitter after praying for years I used to call it patience. But over time, patience quietly turned into bitterness. That’s when the story of Naomi stopped feeling distant. She doesn’t hide her bitterness. She renames herself Mara. In Hebrew, the word means more than sad—it means life has turned against me. The Bible never corrects her for that honesty. It lets her bitterness speak before restoration ever arrives. If bitterness has crept into your prayers, Scripture doesn’t tell you to swallow it. It shows you someone who carried it openly—and was still part of God’s story. #Bitterness #Naomi #FaithAfterLoss #BiblicalHonesty #EmotionalHealing142Share
