Know someone who died recently. Did not know her that well. Overwhelmed by grief. Cried for first time in years. Violent, violent sobbing for a very long time. Incapacitated.
But nothing was released. Nothing "happened." Do not know where to go.
Hi Archer,
I know someone who died for me ; it is my Lord Jesus Christ.
Surely He has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows; yet we esteemed Him stricken, smitten by God, and afflicted.-Isaiah 53:4
Yes, the Lord was bearing our griefs and carried our sorrows !
This is also written:
Blessed be the Lord, who DAILY bears us up; God is our salvation. Selah -Psalms 68:19
The Lord Jesus Christ DAILY bears up our griefs and DAILY carries our sorrows !
When you are grieving and sorrowful, you can go to the Lord; For He is also called the Man of Sorrows.
When the psalmist go to the Lord, this is what the psalmist proclaim to God when his soul faced with sorrows:
My soul clings to the dust;
give me life according to Your word!
When I told of my ways, You answered me; teach me Your statutes!
Make me understand the way of Your precepts, and I will meditate on Your wondrous works.
MY SOUL MELTS AWAY FOR SORROW; strengthen me according to Your word!
Put false ways far from me and graciously teach me Your law!
I have chosen the way of faithfulness; I set Your rules before me.
I cling to Your testimonies, O LORD;
let me not be put to shame!
I will run in the way of Your commandments when You enlarge my heart! -Psalm 119:25-32
Say to God again and again what the psalmist proclaim !
God will strengthen you according to His word.
Believe that you receive it !
It will come to pass !
GBU
