Miscarriage is a kind of grief that often feels silent, unseen, and hard to explain. It’s the loss of a life you never got to meet, the end of dreams that had already begun to form, and the painful tension of faith existing alongside disappointment. For many, it is a private valley they walk through while the world keeps moving.
After experiencing two miscarriages, managing PCOS, and navigating the unknown effects of Stevens-Johnson Syndrome on my body, I wrestled with my faith in ways I never imagined I would. There were many days of quiet lament, confusion and faith the size of a mustard seed. Crying out to God didn’t always sound holy. Sometimes it sounded like questions, frustration, or silence. Yet even there, He was present.
Out of that journey came a devotional that I never planned to write, but felt deeply called to share. My devotional When Hope Hurts: Miscarriage and Faith is now live on the YouVersion Bible App.
Why This Devotional Matters
This isn’t a devotional about easy answers, clichés, or pretending everything is “fine.” It’s about:
- Learning to lament honestly before God
- Navigating the physical and emotional reality of miscarriage
- Wrestling with faith when prayers feel unanswered
- Remembering God’s presence, even in the pain
- Rebuilding hope
- Reclaiming expectation after loss
- Understanding that brokenness is not failure, in fact, it’s a place God rebuilds
Whether you’ve experienced miscarriage yourself or you’re supporting someone who has, my prayer is that this 7-day devotional brings comfort and is a reminder that you are not walking alone. Some days include excerpts from raw journal entries written during my losses with words I once wrote only for God, now shared so someone else might feel seen.
A Final Word to Anyone Grieving
If you are in a place where hope hurts, where believing seems risky and praying feels exhausting, this devotional is for you. God sees every tear, every prayer, every silent ache of your heart.
