Grief: Biblical Truths that Bring Healing
()
About this ebook
Faced with real-life tests—whether to our reason or our reserves—we more easily doubt than believe, more quickly despair than trust.
But often our tentativeness to stand on the Word of God is less a lack of courage and more a lack of knowledge. We know what we’ve heard; we know what we’ve been told. But what’s the truth? What does the Bible really say? What can we grab onto by faith and never let go?
This book is an entire collection of biblical truth that deals with a specific area of life—a specific need, a specific topic, a specific place where questions have always seemed more prevalent than answers. But as each page attests, the Scripture will always provide a firm place to dig in and defend. Be sure of what’s true, and you’ll feel a lot more sure of the next step.

Somewhere along the line, the Bible attracted a reputation for being both irrelevant and impossible to understand. Out of touch as well as out of reach. Yet while conclusions like these continue to persist, so does human need for the Bible to be everything God affirms it to be: living and effective
(Hebrews 4:12), its message very near you, in your mouth and in your heart
(Deuteronomy 30:14).
If families and friends are to live together in unity . . . if lives are to be whole and fruitful in heart and mind . . . if tragedy and loss and disappointment and confusion are to be survived . . . no, not merely survived but transformed into peace and power and a purposeful way forward . . . you need a Word that is here and now and able to be grasped. You need to know the truth,
because the truth will set you free
(John 8:32).
That’s why you picked up this book. As the grief in your life becomes overwhelming, you need to take a step back and soak in God’s Word.
Filled with Scriptures that speak personally to you this little book is further proof that God intends His Word to share living space with your present reality. Always in touch. Always within reach. No matter where you are, or what you are going through, allow this book to help direct you to the Scriptures you need most.
Sometimes it can feel like the entire world is against us. Everything is going wrong, and we are trapped in our circumstances. But grief is not the end. God is for us; and if that is true who can be against us? Our eternal reassurance in the face of conflict, rejection, uncertainty, and loss is that God’s love for us is constant. No matter what kind of grief you find yourself in, let these verses reassure you of the one who is always on your side.
But the L
ord
said to Samuel, "Do not look at his appearance or his stature because I have rejected him. Humans do not see what the L
ord
sees, for humans see what is visible, but the L
ord
sees the heart."
1 Samuel 16:7
Everyone the Father gives me will come to me, and the one who comes to me I will never cast out.
John 6:37
But God proves his own love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
Romans 5:8
If God is for us, who is against us?
Romans 8:31
Peter began to speak: "Now
