We Affirm That God Is Our Very Help In The Time Of Trouble.
Therefore We Praise Him Now And Forever. Amen.
Bereavement is the path we take to go through grief. Grief is a healthy and natural reaction to a significant loss. Most of us associate grief with the death of a loved one. Still, we can grieve for several different reasons, such as infertility, miscarriage or stillbirth, congenital disabilities, brain injury, chronic illness, adverse change in one’s way of living, and even transitions due to job loss, moving, financial problems, divorce, or separation. As you can see, we all have or will grieve at one time or another, for it is a part of life.
JESUS said, “Blessed are they who mourn, for they shall be comforted!” So, how do we deal with grief? How do we find comfort? I’m so glad you asked.
First, we must accept the loss or the change in our lives. Denial causes us to block the reality of what has happened. Grief is a process that takes time, and the length of time is different for each situation and each person. So, acceptance is the first step to healing and getting through the trauma of the problem.
Second, we need to seek support and create positive reactive activities to our grief. In other words, seek counsel, join a support group, or develop a change organization to honor your loved one. Write a book or article about your experience. But whatever you do, don’t just stay in your grief moment and deal with it alone. If you do, it will kill you. Do you hear me? Seek help, my friend. Seek help!
Lastly, take your grief to the LORD in prayer and praise HIM. Prayer will give you the comfort promised by JESUS, and praising HIM will give you the strength to hold on and hold out. Prayer and Praise will carry you through. I remember several hymns we sang as a child attending church with my grandmother.
One said, “You just ask the SAVOIR to help you, comfort, strengthen and keep you. JESUS is willing to aid you; HE will carry you through.” The other says: “Be not dismayed what-e’er be-tide; GOD will take care of you. Beneath HIS wings of love abide. GOD will take care of you. GOD will take care of you. Thru every day, O’er all the way. He will take care of you. GOD will take care of you.” Yes, HE will. You have to believe and lean on HIS promise and HIS word. Can I get a witness?
Beloved, say this with me, “In and through my grief, I will trust HIM because the earth has no sorrow that heaven cannot heal.” Boy, I feel praise coming on up in here, up in here. Go ahead. It’s alright to praise HIM. I’m not going to talk about you and call you crazy! LOL. Amen, Somebody, Amen.
