HOW GOD RESPONDS TO OUR GRIEF Psalm 116:1-19 Emotions. We've all got them. If you're like me, you know one or two people whose lives are an emotional roller coaster, running through a range of emotions in a matter of minutes. Some of us freely express our emotions, both positive and negative, and some of us try to hide them. Nothing is wrong with having negative emotions, God created humans to be emotional, but the challenge comes with how we express those emotions. God responds to our sorrow with grace and compassion. As the psalmist would attest, no one goes looking for distress or grief, but they have a way of finding us. When grief finds us, we can feel overwhelmed. When we experience loss, we might wonder how we can live or survive without what we've lost, whether it's a loved one, bodily functions, or something else we loved and relied on. In our times of deep sorrow, loss, and trouble, the only solution is to call on God, the One who hears our call and responds in His love. If you have a friend or relative going through grief, invest time to sit with him or her. Just listen.
