In times of sorrow, the Bible offers comfort and hope to those who have experienced the loss of a child. Jesus' teachings in the Gospels, such as in Luke, emphasize the special place that children hold in God's heart, and His love for them is evident in His words and actions. The prophetic books, including Isaiah and Jeremiah, remind us that God knows and loves each person, even before birth, and has a plan for their life. The promise of Revelation, that God will one day wipe away all tears, brings comfort to grieving parents, and the Beatitudes in Matthew remind us that those who mourn will be comforted.

For You formed my inmost being; You knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Marvelous are Your works, and I know this very well. My frame was not hidden from You when I was made in secret, when I was woven together in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed body; all my days were written in Your book and ordained for me before one of them came to be.
