Today’s Reading:
Job 3:1–24 (EFKS Tusi Faitau Aso)

“For sighing has become my daily food; my groans pour out like water.”
(Job 3:24)

This week’s EFKS theme:
Mental Health and Faith

A Thought for Today

Deep pain does not always come with easy words.

What This Means for Us Today

Job speaks from a place of overwhelming grief and despair.

Scripture does not hide his anguish or rush him into pretending he is okay.
His words remind us that deep suffering can be spoken honestly, and those who hurt deserve compassion rather than quick answers.

Carry This With You

Pain deserves compassion, not judgement.

A Simple Prayer

Lord, stay near to those carrying deep pain.
Give comfort where words are not enough.

Today’s Invitation

Be gentle with yourself and others today.
You may not know what someone is carrying.
