Thanksgiving catch-up

I usually post something every day from the Grief Bites, A New Approach series. I got a little behind with the Thanksgiving break. Here are the missed days.

Day 24 of Grief Bites
Verses:
Psalm 55:17: Evening and morning and at noon I will pray, and cry aloud. And He shall hear my voice.

Psalm 42: 9-11
I will say to God my Rock,
"Why have You forgotten me?
Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?"
As with a breaking of my bones,
My enemies reproach me,
While they say to me, all day long,
"Where is your God?"

Why are you cast down, O my soul?
And why are you disquieted within me?
Hope in God;
For I shall yet praise Him,
The help of my countenance and my God.

Day 25 of Grief Bites

Lord, teach me to seek you.

Verse:
Hebrews 11:6: But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.

Day 26 of Grief Bites
One of the best ways to throw grief a "right hook" is to invest in blessing others throughout your grief, especially fellow grievers.

(I have experienced this firsthand)

On your worst days,...use it as a signal to reach out to others and encourage them.

Verse:
Philippians 2:4: Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others.

Day 27 of Grief Bites
Life will not always be the way it is today...healing takes time.

Day 28 of Grief Bites
No one can understand your grief as greatly or as intimately as Christ. He truly feels your pain!

Day 29 of Grief Bites
Loss and grief do not have to permanently define your life or become your primary identity.

Day 30 of Grief Bites
Verse:
Psalm 91:11:
For He shall give His angels charge over you,
To keep you in all your ways.
