Grief Devotional

Life is characterized by gain and loss. While managing success and the emotions that come with gain presents its own unique problems, it is undoubtedly the pain and grief that are part and parcel of loss that affect us the most. The loss of a parent can be one of the most difficult grieving periods in anyone’s life. It will always hurt to lose a loved one, but there are ways to make it through.

Few losses are as painful as the death of someone close. No valley is as vast as grief, no journey as personal and life changing. Compassionate and wise guides Raymond Mitsch and Lynn Brookside shine a light on the road through grief. They can help you endure the anguish and uncertainty; understand the cycles of grief; sort through the emotions of anger, guilt, fear, and depression; and face the god who allowed you to lose the one you love.

What do you pray when you've already prayed for everything? You asked God for healing. You trusted. You waited. You prayed again. But the diagnosis remained. The pain stayed. The grief never left. And now you're left carrying a question many Christians are afraid to say out loud: What happens when healing doesn't come? Prayers for When Healing Doesn't Come is a 40-day Scripture devotional written for those living in the long wait.

At one time or another, we will all find ourselves facing a dark journey—the passage through grief. Experiencing Grief is written for a person who is in the wake of despair grief leaves. This brief but powerful book will help lead listeners out of their grief experience through five stages of grief. At the end of the journey is peace and a seasoned, more mature faith.

Grief is a process that you must work through and it is not time limited. Some never work through grief while others work through it and return to a life changed but directed again to the future. Grief will affect all of us. Christians have hope but still grieve. This book will help you or a friend work through grief. This is a devotional that will encourage you and draw you closer to your heavenly Father who deeply loves you and wants to be close to you - your Daddy.

Joe Gibbs has dedicated his life to helping the “average Joe” apply Biblical principles to everyday situations, using the Bible as a game plan. But in 2019, when his son, J.D., lost his battle with a degenerative brain disease at the age of 49, Joe realized that while he did have a game plan for life, he did not have a game plan for dealing with loss. Written with the non-Christian in mind, Game Plan for Loss presents Coach Gibbs’ answers to these questions in plain, everyday language, proving once again that the Bible is in fact the ultimate game plan.

Life is fragile. But hope in Christ lasts forever. The Bible calls human life a vapor. A mist. A wisp of fog. A flower that springs up in the morning and fades away by mid-afternoon. We like to think we have years to pursue our goals, raise our families, and make a difference in the world. But we just don’t know. The fact is, our stay on earth is really very brief. And when a loved one unexpectedly steps out of this life into eternity, it shakes us to the core. We ask ourselves: Is heaven real?

This year-long devotional invites you into simple, everyday practices and Scriptural truths to bring you hope in the midst of suffering and loss. “A stunning resource for anyone with fresh or lingering grief who doesn’t feel like they can even lift their head some days. This beautiful...
