Bible Verses For Grief: Scriptures When Grieving

Do you need Bible Verses For Grief? It is rare for humans to pass through a lifetime without experiencing grief of one kind or another. Profound grief can affect us physically as well as emotionally. While grief usually takes time, and cannot be ignored, there are Bible verses for grief which are intended to offer comfort when the emotions seem overwhelming. You can search these verses out for yourself or be grateful when a loving friend or family member offers them to you as a way to support and console.

Losing a loved one to death is a devastating blow to most people. These are dark times for human emotions. Loneliness and even anger at God are emotions that are typical, following a death. Human words of comfort are important, but so are the words which God offers to us through scriptures. He has experienced the loss of His Son and God grieves for each of His children who pass on.

While grief over the death of a loved one is a life-changing emotion, there are some other experiences in life that may be almost as overwhelming. One of these is divorce. If you are mourning the breakup of your marriage, the comfort of scriptures is always available. God will never leave you or forsake you and His love lasts forever. He always wants what is best for each of His children.

Any life event that is a major loss for us can create feelings of grief. While not at the level of a death in family, it can cause profound grief. For example, losing a job can cause sadness. We wonder how we will be able to get by financially. We miss the challenge of doing something we love. Again, the Bible gives comfort and provides reminders that God cares about our temporal needs, as well as our spiritual and emotional ones.

The Bible verses remind us that no matter how sad we are because of losses and failures in our lifetime, there is hope for a better life in the future. God promises to wipe away our tears. He promises that grieving and sorrow is temporary and that we can look forward to joy in the morning.
