Grief

Grief is an emotion that can turn your world upside down in a matter of moments. You can be fine one minute and in tears the next. Facing grief head on is the only way out of it. Running away from it will only prolong it. God promises us that He will be a steadfast rock in our life. It is in times of grief that we cling to that rock. God leads us ever so gently to quietness and stillness restoring our soul along the way. He comforts us with gentle whispers from a friend. He anoints us with his spirit and pours out goodness and love into our lives.

Teach me O Lord and guide me,
for you are My God, My Savior
and my hope is in you all day long.
