The rancid taste of grief sours our personality at the same
time that it bitters our soul. We drown in depression and we see no reason to
continue with life. We grieve over the loss of our loved ones, as well as
cherished pets and possessions.
Grief plays havoc with our emotions by knocking them off center. We want to hide between the sheets and drift off into oblivion or take unprecedented risks. Our loss causes our favorite hobbies to lose their appeal.
We question our sanity and our bewildering physical ailments, which come out of nowhere without any viable reason. Some even attempt to contact their dead loved one through satanic séances and spiritualists.

Experts advise against making major decisions while the fog
of grief clouds our judgment. We stand the risk of rebounding and marrying the
wrong person, or selling the home of our dreams for fear of not being able to
care for it on our own.
If we forget God in our recovery, we will perish as those without God (Job 8:13). Take a year or more to recuperate before making decisions and only after obtaining Godly advice. God is there for you...always.
It takes time to recover, but God meets all of our needs, clears up our confusion and heals all of our pain (Jeremiah 29:11). Praising His name and seeking Him each moment of the day will bring us more fulfillment than we ever experienced before in our life.

Prayer:
Lord Jesus, we are certain to the depths of our being that
You are the Living Lord. Every negative aspect in our life right now will turn
out for our good, as we trust in You. Even
if we are truly alone in this world, we can place our hope in You and pray
night and day, asking for Your help moment by moment (1 Timothy 5:5).
The prayer that never fails is, "Lord, Your will be done." It is hard to give up control of our life, but we will experience so much more freedom once we totally surrender and live in Your joy as our peace and strength. Once we come to that place of total surrender to Your will, no matter what it is, then we set You free to bless us.

Thought for the Day:
When grief resurfaces with some trigger that
reminds us of our loss, we can remember that even in the darkest nights of our
life, our faith increases and our personal relationship with God deepens.
