Scripture reveals that death is real, it comes from sin, but God has broken its power through Jesus—and believers move through it into His presence, not away from it.

Prayer
Jesus invited His followers to bring their deepest fears to the Father, saying 'Come to me, all you who are weary' (Matthew 11:28).
Father, death is real and it's hard. It takes the people we love, and it waits for us too. But You've shown me through Jesus that death isn't the last word—You are. Thank You that Christ died and rose again, breaking death's grip. When I'm afraid of dying, or grieving someone I've lost, remind me that You are there. Help me trust that You hold both this life and the next. In Jesus' name, Amen.
