Dealing With Grief and Loss
John 11

Life can be very painful. Every one of us has dealt with grief and loss on one level or another. Though we may not have lost a family member or a close friend, there are many things in life that can gives us grief and depression. There are many people who are losing their life savings, losing jobs, and income. If you know someone who is facing devastation like this be in prayer for them, spend some time comforting them, just being there with them.

We talked yesterday about 3 actions we can take to help us get through grief. These are actions, you must act in order to succeed.
  1. Be honest with God and yourself.
  2. Be proactive about depression. Seek HELP!
  3. Trust that God is in control and He cares about what is going on.
Do you have someone you can turn to and trust with your pain? Are you trust worthy enough for someone to trust you with pain? Always be ready to care.
