Grief

How wonderful it is that we have a Savior that can relate to our pain. Christ is also known as a Man of Sorrows who is well aquatinted with grief (Isaiah 53:3). During his time on earth, he experienced physical pain, betrayal, being misunderstood, anxiety, the loss of loved ones, and temptation. He went through all of that on our behalf!

We can take comfort during difficult times that we have a High Priest, Jesus, who is familiar with what it is to be human (Hebrews 4:15).

Lift your suffering before the Lord - Your grief doesn't phase him. Your pain doesn't make him shy away. He wants every piece of you! He loves you deeply and cares about your cares. In fact, it says in Psalm 56:8 that he records each one of our tears. Be honest before him today and give him your brokenness

Ask God to show himself to you during this time - God is a God of miracles, but sometimes for reasons we don't understand, he will choose to withhold healing or rescue, but that doesn't mean he is not with you in this valley. Ask your Father in heaven to reveal himself to you during this time. Pray that you might see him working in and through the suffering.
