The Truth of Grief
But the Lord calls us to move beyond our circumstances and ourselves and dwell upon Him and His ways, as His ways are higher than our ways (Isaiah 55:8-9). Isaiah 26:3–4 exhorts us in this way: “You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you.
God tells us in Matthew 11, “Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” God can provide that rest in many ways, including in through a pastor, friend, or a Christian counselor who works with you as you experience grief.
Grief impacts the physical, emotional, social, spiritual, financial and mental dimensions of one’s life. Grief affects everyone differently, and our faith reaction to losing a loved one also varies.
