You Are Allowed to Take Up Space

You are allowed to take up space—even in your grief.

You do not need to shrink your pain or hide your sadness.
Your presence matters.
Your grief matters.

God has not forgotten you.

🤍

“The Lord will not forget His people.”
— Psalm 94:14

A Gentle Prayer

God,
Remind me
that my presence matters.

Help me grieve
without apologizing.

Hold me close
today.
Amen.
