God Will Take Care of You

 

I am struggling this morning. My heart is heavy and my spirit is burdened. There are many things I want to share with you, but at this moment I am unable. But this is what I can tell you.

 

???????????????????????????????There are many people that I know who are grieving. Families have had to say goodbye to mothers, fathers, children and friends. Our local community is struggling to come to terms with suicide. Not just one, but three.

 

I know grief. I know my grief. It hasn’t been easy and I’ve cried and hurt and I’ve asked all of the questions and I’ve come to the conclusion that I may not know all of the answers. But what I’ve also learned is that I am not able to carry this burden alone. I must cry out to Jesus and allow Him to carry the burden.

 

If you are in the midst of the grieving process now, please know that God cares. He wants to give you comfort during this time. It may be from the kind word of a friend or it could be from His Word. For me, God’s Word brings deep comfort.

 

I’ve listed some verses of Scripture that have helped me over the past few years through my grieving process. Maybe it’s just what you need today. My favorites include:

 

“My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.”

(2 Corinthians 12:9 – NIV)

 

“In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” (John 16:33b – NIV)

 

“Be merciful to me, O Lord, for I am in distress;

my eyes grow weak with sorrow, my soul and my body with grief.”

(Psalm 31:9- NIV)

 

“God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.”

(Psalm 46:1 – NIV)

 

“He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.”

(Psalm 147:3 – NIV)

 

“I will turn their mourning into gladness;

I will give them comfort and joy instead of sorrow.”

(Jeremiah 31:13 – NIV)

 

“When you pass through the waters, I will be with you;

And when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you.

When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned;

The flames will not set you ablaze.”

(Isaiah 43:2 – NIV)

 

Maybe someday I’ll be able to share the rest of my story. But until that day arrives, I will continue to hold tightly to Jesus’ promise of being with me, caring for me and delivering me from the pain of this world. I will cling to His Overcoming Arm and seek His Healing Hand. I pray that you too will find great comfort in the One who loves you more than anything.

 

Grace and peace be yours in abundance,

 

Donna
