Grieving Parents Sharing Hope

145: “If I Was God…”


Listen Later

After the death of our child, many of us question God in ways we never thought we would, which puts us in a vulnerable place for attacks from the enemy.

Satan does not use new tactics. He uses the same ones he used in the garden of Eden on Eve. In this episode, Laura calls attention to those tactics, reminding us how sly and dangerous the enemy can be, shares how to recognize the enemy's ways of trying to keep us in our place of darkness, and how to come against him to move toward God's light.

We all find ourselves thrown into a suffocating pit of darkness for a long time when our child dies. That is where this journey starts. If that's where you find yourself right now, it does not mean you are giving the enemy a place in your grief. However, without realizing it, sometimes we can give the enemy a way to keep us there, so it is important to make sure you know how to recognize the difference, and to know what to do about it when he comes to you the way he comes to all of us, since the very beginning of creation.
