Today’s question is: “What is grief and how can we overcome it?”
Grief is the normal and natural emotional reaction to loss. And grief is real pain; It hits the very core of your being. It tears you apart.
So what can you do to heal? Because it is real pain, accept the pain and allow yourself time to heal.
Now what does the Bible say about grief? My dear friend, God understands your pain. Psalm 34:18 says, “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted.” So pray through your pain as the psalmist did in Psalm 119:28, “My soul is weary with sorrow: strengthen me according to your word…”
Also, take strength in Isaiah 53:4 which says, “He has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows.” This means Jesus paid for your pain. He has taken it on the cross for you. Give it to Him.
