• John 11:35 - “Jesus wept.”

• Psalm 46:10 - “Be still and know that I am God.”

Prayer for people to have peace within their hearts and for the Mourning Glory Podcast community; for those fighting battles inside that no one no one can see or that nobody realizes, to know that God sees and knows those desires of our heart and wants to be in communion with other people who might be suffering right now. You are not alone.
