God Provides Comfort in Our Grief
My thoughts raced, and my heart was full of sorrow after my mother’s death. I couldn’t imagine life without her. I spent my days camped out in the book of Revelation in the Bible, seeking to learn more about heaven. Grief had me fixated on seeking answers about what my mother might experience in the afterlife. Was she assigned to the heavenly hospitality committee, since she had loved entertaining and hosting guests before she died? Was angel food cake a thing in heaven?
I found myself in an unhealthy emotional spiral. Disbelief, anger, and shock poured from my grief-stricken heart. As I began processing my mother’s death, my heart shifted to acceptance once I realized I wouldn’t get the answers to those questions. What I truly wanted was healing my broken heart.
I intentionally switched from reading Bible verses about the end times to verses about God’s promises for a grieving heart. 2 Corinthians 1:3-7, NIV states God is “the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort” who provides comfort to us in our darkest times. Scripture also shows us that God is Jehovah Rapha, which means “the God Who Heals” in Hebrew. The healing of a grieving heart begins with God’s promises of who He is. A heavenly Father, who is compassionate toward our pain, the God of all comfort, and the God who heals.
Over the next five days, we will reflect on God’s promises of healing, love, and hope for a grieving heart, which will allow the grasp of pain and sorrow to loosen on your heart.
Moment of Reflection
What’s weighing on your grief-stricken heart today? Spend time in prayer with the God of all comfort, the Father of compassion, who provides comfort to us in our darkest times and lightens the heaviness in our hearts.
