S08 Ep06: Your Need to Grieve

Have you considered that the symptoms you are experiencing may be a sign that you need to grieve? Are you allowing yourself to grieve areas of your life that need processing with God? 

We certainly need to grieve when a loved one passes away. Many problems occur when we don’t take the opportunity to grieve those losses.

But it also important to know that grieving is not just something that occurs when someone dies. There are a number of experiences in life that we need to grieve as well.  

Grieving is really about processing loss.

True grief is an experience given to us by God to process loss of any kind. If done in a healthy way, grieving can be a powerful exchange with God to lead you through seasons of pain, mourning and sadness.

In this week’s episode, I want to help you:

  • Understand areas of our life that need grieving.
  • How shepherding our hearts needs to include times of grieving.
  • Becoming aware of where you are at in the subject of grief.
  • Signs that you need to grieve.
  • Relating to Jesus and how he processed challenging emotions and even grieving.
  • How to grieve in a healthy way.

Stay here and watch with Me.” 39 He went a little farther and fell on His face, and prayed, saying, “O My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as You will.” 40 Then He came to the disciples and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, “What! Could you not watch with Me one hour?

John 11:32-35 (NKJV) 32 Then, when Mary came where Jesus was, and saw Him, she fell down at His feet, saying to Him, “Lord, if You had been here, my brother would not have died.” 33 Therefore, when Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who came with her weeping, He groaned in the spirit and was troubled. 34 And He said, “Where have you laid him?” They said to Him, “Lord, come and see.” 35 Jesus wept.
