Jesus teaches us that God looks at the heart with which we give. Discover how to approach Him with love and sincerity.
Read answerThere are moments when we feel that our story has been broken. We lose joy, find it hard to find peace, and it seems our strength runs out. We look back and wonder if we will ever be able to start again.
Maybe you have experienced a painful farewell, a disappointment, or a situation that changed your life. Perhaps you smile in front of others, but inside you carry a sadness you don't know how to explain.
The good news is that we can approach Jesus even when our heart is tired.We don't need to hide our tears or pretend that everything is fine. In the midst of our difficulties, we can find comfort, strength, and reasons to keep going in God.
The Bible reminds us of a beautiful promise God made to His people through the prophet Joel:
And I will restore to you the years that the locust has eaten [...]".
Joel 2:25 (RVR1960, excerpt)
This verse belongs to a message of restoration addressed to the people of Israel after a devastating plague of locusts had destroyed their crops.
God announced that He would provide food again for His people and that they would recognize His presence in the midst of Israel (Joel 2:25-27).
This teaching helps us remember thatdifficult situations are not outside of God's care.
Although Joel 2:25 does not promise that we will immediately recover everything we have lost, it does show us a God capable of bringing renewal after a period of suffering.
Sometimes, restoration does not mean going back exactly to how things were before. It can also mean learning to live with hope, receiving strength to carry on, or discovering new ways to experience God's peace.
In our videoJesus can restore what you thought was lost, a little girl expresses a question many of us have felt at some point: what happens when it seems our story no longer has hope?
Through an imagined dialogue with Jesus, the video invites us to reflect on His love and care. This dialogue is a devotional representation, not a conversation literally recorded in the Bible.
Jesus taught that those who are weary and burdened can come to Him to find rest (Matthew 11:28).
This reminds us of three important truths:
We can come to Jesus with our sadness.We do not need to have all the answers to pray.
Our worth does not depend on what we have lost.We are still people loved by God.
We can hold on to hope.Although some wounds take a long time to heal, we do not have to face our difficulties without support.
Trusting Jesus does not mean we will stop feeling pain overnight. It means we can seek His help as we go through the process, even when we still do not understand what we are experiencing.
Sometimes children cannot find the words to express what they feel. Sadness may appear as a lack of desire to play, irritability, isolation, worry, or changes in their usual habits.
Adults can also feel exhausted, discouraged, or worried about family, work, or personal situations.
1. Talk to God honestly.
We can tell Him what worries us, what we miss, and what is difficult for us to accept. We don't need long prayers or perfect words.
2. Share our feelings with someone we trust.
Children can talk to their parents or an adult who cares for them. Adults also need company, understanding, and someone to listen to us.
3. Take small steps every day.
Resting, resuming an activity we enjoy, talking with family, or dedicating a few minutes to prayer can help us face difficult moments.
4. Remember that asking for help is also important.
If sadness is intense, lasts a long time, or affects our daily life, seeking professional support can be a valuable way to take care of ourselves.
5. Trust without demanding immediate results.
Faith is not about rushing recovery or denying our emotions. We can trust God as we move forward, step by step, with patience and hope.
What hurts today does not have to extinguish our hope: God remains faithful in the midst of our story.
Lord Jesus:
Today I want to come to you with everything I carry in my heart.
You know my sadness, my worries, and what is hard for me to accept.
When I feel I have no strength, help me find rest in your presence.
Give me patience to get through difficult moments, wisdom to ask for help, and hope to keep going.
Take care of my family and teach us to support each other with love.
May we never forget that we can trust you, even when we do not yet see the path clearly.
In your name, Jesus. Amen.
Have you ever felt sad because you lost something important or because a situation didn’t turn out as you expected?How did you feel?
What can we learn from the promise of restoration that God made to His people in Joel 2:25?
What can we do as a family to support someone who is going through a difficult time?
These questions can help create a space of trust where both children and adults feel heard, understood, and supported.
Maybe today you are going through a stage you didn’t expect. Perhaps there are memories that still hurt or questions that remain unanswered.
Remember that you don’t need to have your life completely figured out to come to Jesus. You can come to Him with your joys, your doubts, and your tears.
Your story still has value, even in its most difficult chapters.
