Finding God’s Refuge in Grief Over Lost Landmarks

📖 Introduction

Grief often comes as a deeply personal experience, most commonly associated with the loss of loved ones. Yet, grief can also arise from losing something beloved and meaningful in our community. When cherished landmarks—the buildings, parks, or places tied to countless memories—are destroyed or disappear, it feels like a part of our collective soul has been torn away. This kind of grief touches our hearts and challenges our sense of belonging.

In this 7-day study, we will journey through Scripture to find hope and reassurance when the physical places we treasured are no longer with us. While these places hold significance, they are not our ultimate source of stability. God remains our unshakable refuge. He offers comfort, healing, and a future that transcends what we have lost. Through His Word, we will discover how to process the sadness, find peace beyond the pain, and learn to trust in God's enduring presence.

Each day invites you to reflect on Scripture, meditate on God’s promises, and apply biblical truths to your experience of communal loss. May these reflections help you grieve well and cultivate a resilient hope rooted in the eternal—not in what was, but in who God is.
