I’ve experienced life-changing grief and struggled for years with the physical changes, the emotional roller-coaster and the spiritual questioning. I asked ‘why’ more times than I can count, went ‘boldly’ (and disrespectfully) to the throne, and was confused by a pain I had never felt before. I believed I would never be happy again and had all but given up on fulfilling my purpose. But God!

This is a story of faith, FRamily support and redemption that only God can author. And, I want to share this with you.

SHOW NOTES
We know we shouldn’t worry about things – that ‘giving it to God’ is the only way to truly calm our anxieties. In life before grief, you may have tried hard to ‘stop worrying,’ to stop being in control of the things you had no control over, but it wasn’t easy. Now, in grief…well – that’s a whole different deal. Your loss and how it occurred can cause you to fear new things while amplifying the fears we already had.
The song of the week (Letting Go) has lyrics that speak to this: "Maybe I don’t have to see what the future holds to trust Your promises to me. In my weakness You are strong. And in the moments when I feel powerless, you are closest to me then.”
Today I’m going to share a situation in my life – just a few weeks ago – that illustrates this point. I was disappointed in my reaction because it reminded me of when I walked through grief and tried to control everything on my own. Instead, I should have given it to God and had faith to let him handle the outcome.
WORD of the Week Don’t fret or worry. Instead of worrying, pray. Let petitions and praises shape your worries into prayers, letting God know your concerns. Before you know it, a sense of God’s wholeness, everything coming together for good, will come and settle you down. It’s wonderful what happens when Christ displaces worry at the center of your life. Phil 4:6-7
