Grieving

DAY 3 OF 4

Everyone handles their grief differently. But the question I should ask is, Are you grieving with God? Stay close to Him daily, ask Him to comfort you, and give you peace and love. The world grieves by focusing on yourself to feel better, but feeling better is temporary. How are you handling your grief? The Bible says that He is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. That scripture tells us that God is with you in your grief. Are you saying you can’t feel Him? Maybe that is because you are grieving with the world.

How can you change that? The Book of James, chapter 4:8-10 says, “Draw near to God and He will Draw near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded. Grieve, mourn and wail. Change your laughter to mourning and your joy to gloom. Humble yourselves before the Lord, and He will lift you up.” What does that mean? It means to change your heart. Instead of grieving on your own, get right with God. Grieve with Him and allow Him to be close to you daily. I pray that you take the time to turn to God and ask Him to give you comfort during your time of grief.
