I would like to share with you some things about grief. I have some
personal experience in this area with my husband, my parents,
grandparents, grandson and friends who have passed on.
Grief is so very hard to deal with-we have so many emotions coming at us.
Anger, love, loneliness and hurt, to mention a few. I personally went
through all but one of these emotions and that was anger. That may seem
strange to some of you. I have to look at it as:
2) God has a reason for everything. Please read Ecc. 3:1-8. A Time For
Everything. There is a time for everything in this life on earth-we
may not understand but we must Trust Him.
3) Faith and trust for God to meet our needs. I know it is hard at these
times to trust and have faith in God to give us the strength, hope and
know that He will meet out needs. But without it, we suffer harder and
longer.
Psalm 27:1 The Lord is my light and my salvation-whom shall I fear? The
Lord is the stronghold of my life-whom shall I be afraid?
ALWAYS REMEMBER PSALM 23
Isaiah 12:2 Surely God is my salvation; I will trust and not be afraid.
The Lord, The Lord is my strength and my song; He has become salvation.
Isaiah 40:20-31 He gives strength to the weary and increases the power
of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and
fall' but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They
will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they
will walk and not be faint.
Grief does not just encompass living things, but also the loss of other
things in our lives. A home, job and even as simple as a precious
picture of someone or something that is dear to our hearts.
Father I pray for strength, courage and hope in our losses, I pray thy
peace and comfort abide within our hearts.
In Jesus Name,

1) God would have us be loving and not filled with anger. He wants us to
fill our hearts with love. What good does anger do anyway?
James 1:20 For man's anger does not bring about the righteous life that
God desires.
Amen
Look to the Lord and His strength; seek His face always.
Chronicles 16:11
