Advent For the Broken-Hearted

This devotional was adapted from a service that Mari wrote in 2023, created to honor the thrum of sorrow and loss that undulates beneath the largely cheerful Christmas songs sung throughout November and December.

“Will I Ever Be Happy Again?”

 “God,” we might whisper through cracked lips and aching heart, “is there any way, any chance, You could bring good out of this bad situation?” This is possibly one of the most powerful prayers you and I can every bring to God.
