Week 11: Gratitude
Scripture & Theme
Romans 5:8
But God demonstrates His
own love for us in this:
While we were still
sinners, Christ died for us.
Pray:
Dear Lord, thank You for
loving me so much that
You died for me. Thank
You that I can look forward
to being in heaven with my
loved ones because I
accept Your sacrifice for
me.
Theme:
Gratitude helps us
through grief.
