Amidst the devastation of recent Texas hill country flooding, this heartfelt devotional emerges as a beacon of spiritual comfort and hope. We begin by acknowledging the profound loss many are experiencing – loved ones, homes, possessions, and livelihoods – while lifting up earnest prayers for victims, rescue workers, and those coordinating relief efforts.

Drawing from Isaiah 61:1-3, we explore Jesus's self-defined mission to "bind up the brokenhearted" and "comfort all who mourn." These ancient words take on renewed significance for those facing the aftermath of natural disaster. The devotional doesn't shy away from the reality of suffering but instead offers the reassurance that God remains present even when circumstances suggest otherwise. For those struggling to find words in their grief, we share the beautiful concept of tears as "liquid intercession" – precious to God when verbal prayers fail us.
