Grieving Well

DAY 1 OF 6

Losing a loved one can cripple us emotionally and challenge our faith and even our worldview. Others have asked me over the years when I have lost different family members how I keep going. They observe that while I grieve, I don’t fall apart. While some of that may be wrapped up in personality or simply the way I process things, I believe the largest reason is I believe what I preach. When I say “God’s got this,” it’s because He really does. When I remember those who have gone before me, I take comfort in knowing how much better life has become for them and how much better it will become for me when it’s my time.

I would encourage you to wrap yourself in what you believe. Meditate on God’s promise of a better life after death. Allow him to be your anchor, where nothing can move you, even grief. First, God is sovereign, which means He is in complete control of every situation. Second, He has a glorious future waiting for those who have placed their trust in His Son, Jesus Christ. If you truly believe that, there should be nothing this earth can throw at you that would cause you to fall apart. 

PRAYER: Father, fill us with a deeper sense of who You are. Strengthen my confidence in You. Allow me to see that when death takes someone I love, Your hand has never left the situation. You have a plan for all of us who believe in You, a plan that involves a glorious perfect existence forever in Your loving presence. Feed my soul while I grieve the loss of someone I love. In Christ's name, amen.
