301: Is God Punishing Me?


Listen Later

In this compassionate episode of Grieving Parents Sharing Hope, Laura Diehl speaks directly to grieving parents who are silently battling guilt after the loss of their child especially when they wonder, Was this my fault? or even, Is God punishing me?

Drawing from personal emails, Scripture, and real-life stories, Laura offers insight into:

  • Why suffering is not a sign of God’s punishment
  • How guilt can wrongly silence your right to grieve
  • A powerful reminder that Jesus has already taken all our guilt and shame
  • Practical ways to begin releasing guilt and walking in freedom
  • Whether you’re struggling with what your child did or didn't do or simply feeling crushed by the weight of what ifs, this episode is a lifeline of truth and grace.
