Grief Relief

We are living in an unprecedented time. The global pandemic of 2020 has forced our nation into prolonged periods of isolation, social distancing, masking and extreme bouts of grief. Unfortunately, no one is exempt from grief and eventually it will affect each of us at some point or another. If we know this ahead of time, is there a way to prepare for it? I wholeheartedly believe the word of God, and our relationship with Jesus Christ can make all the difference in the world. Let me be clear, grieving the loss of a loved one should never be easy; however, it is necessary. Remember, grief allows each of us to empty ourselves of the deep sorrow and anguish we feel. When this doesn't happen, those prolonged feelings become overwhelming and toxic to our soul. We begin to look for relief in all the wrong places; through drugs, violence, sex, isolation, unhealthy relationships, and or any other destructive vices available. If this sounds familiar, help is available. Learn how to navigate through the grief process using the word of God as a lamp to your feet and a light to your path. (Psalms 119:105 KJV) In God's infinite wisdom, his word, has provided everything we need for life and Godliness. No longer do we have to allow the fear of losing someone we love, stagnate us or keep us from moving forward. There is a balm in Gilead. There is a word from the Lord for the wounded soul. Are you willing to apply it to your life? Let me warn you, frequent use of God's word can become addictive and cause side-effects. You can expect joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Periodically, before healing someone, Jesus would ask them, "Will thou be made whole (healed) "? (John 5:6) As much as I'd like to think we all would like to be healed, unfortunately, that's not the case. If you are tired of carrying the weight of grief and would like to be made whole, then open up this book and read it as many times as it takes to be free from it.
