Beyond the Darkness Devotional

As you walk with sorrow and suffering, Jesus walks beside you, too.

Walking through grief after the loss of a loved one can feel like the most isolating and distressing experience you've ever endured. It's normal to long for a life beyond your sadness. Some days, resurrection feels a hopeful breath away. Other days, our grief reveals to us the gulf that stands between where we are and where we long to be.

In this beautiful devotional, join bestselling author Clarissa Moll on a 40-day journey through grief—and discover the loving presence of Christ that never leaves your side. The prophet Isaiah described Jesus as “a man of sorrows, acquainted with deepest grief.” And while this devotional cannot fix your deepest grief, these pages will reorient, strengthen, and sustain you as you traverse this new terrain of loss. Each day, Clarissa brings hard-won wisdom and tender care, incorporating:

• Powerful and honest reflections about pain, death, loss, and the resilient hope and healing within Scripture
• Written prayers for when you don’t have the words for your sorrow
• Compassionate and practical activities to guide you forward on your grieving journey.

Wherever your grief journey takes you, dear friend, you will find God there. May the words in these devotions remind you of his loving presence and give you the comfort and courage to live fully again.
