The Oil of Joy for Mourning Women

📖 Introduction

For women who find themselves grieving the loss, pain, and heartache of a broken relationship, the journey toward healing can feel overwhelming. Yet, the Bible offers hope, comfort, and restoration through God's unfailing love. This 7-day study explores God's promise to turn mourning into joy and to anoint the hurting with His oil of gladness. Just as the biblical metaphor of oil conveys healing, consecration, and refreshment, so too does our Heavenly Father desire to pour His joy into the lives of breaking hearts.

Throughout Scripture, women have experienced brokenness and restoration—Sarah, Hannah, Ruth, and Mary among them—each finding renewal in God’s faithfulness. This study embraces their stories and the comforting truths God offers, inviting you to embrace joy amid sorrow. Each day will focus on a Scripture passage that gently guides you toward emotional and spiritual healing. You are invited to reflect deeply, journal honestly, and pray fervently, knowing that God’s love for you is tender and intentional.

Whether your broken relationship is recent or distant, this time with the Lord aims to help you receive His oil of joy, which replaces mourning with purpose and peace. As you journey through this study, may your heart be encouraged and your faith strengthened by the God who binds up the brokenhearted and makes beauty out of ashes. You are not alone—He is with you, anointing you with His comfort and joy.
