Yesterday I shared a personal testimony on one thing that helped me face my grief, the healing letters. The most important thing that got me through not only grief but the many trying times of my life is simply the Lord. Spending time in prayer gave me the most comfort of all. Each and every time I asked the Lord to lift my burden and give me peace He went above and beyond. The number one thing I can suggest to you is to do the same. Sometimes the grief and pain weighs you down to the point that you feel as if you are drowning. In those bleak hours there is probably no one that can truly reach you but God. Sometimes you don't have the strength mentally or physically to deal with your hurt. I'm so glad that there is someone who can and His name is Jesus. He is the comforter and prince of peace. All He needs you to do is let Him do it for you. The Bible deals with every aspect of your life, so quite naturally grief is an area covered many times in the Word. Let me share with you some scripture references on grief and the promise of God that He will heal your hurt.
Psalms 31:19
147:3
46:1
30:5
Matthew 5:4
John 14:18; 27
16:33
Take comfort in prayer and in reading these scriptures and my prayer for you is that God blanket your troubled heart with the peace that passes all understanding and the warmth of love.
