About this journey

A journey is a short, themed path through Scripture, one day at a time: a passage to read, a short reflection, a question to journal on and a prayer.

Start at day 1 and go at your own pace — your progress and private journal are saved on this device and synced if you sign in. A “Beta” tag means a pastor has not reviewed the journey yet.

Widowhood: God Sees You

Losing a husband or wife can turn the whole of life upside down, and some widows also face pressure over property, inheritance or customs they did not choose. These seven days walk with you through honest lament, God's tender care, his call for justice and the duty of his people to stand beside you — with no blame and no shame. If grief feels too heavy to carry, or you are being threatened or forced into anything harmful, please talk today with someone you trust, such as a pastor, a doctor, a legal aid service or local authorities.
