All through the Scripture, we see that our God is a God of comfort! The comfort of God is available to us when we are experiencing different kinds of loss and grief.

Main Points:

1. It’s okay to grieve. It’s okay to mourn. God created us with the ability to express these emotions. I’ve ministered to Christians who felt they weren’t supposed to mourn or that if they were grieving they were failing God. It’s okay to grieve. It’s okay to weep. God wants you to experience his comfort during your time of mourning.

2. I have found that God draws especially close to me in the tough times of life.  When my heart is breaking, I find God’s presence near me.

3. If you are mourning, if you are grieving, lean into Jesus. Press into him through prayer and worship. Meditate on the Word of God. Reach out to a friend who can join you in your mourning.  At this moment, I believe you’ll experience the blessing of God’s comfort.
