Meditation for GRIEF
Now is your time of grief, but I will see you again and you will rejoice, and no one will take away your joy.
JOHN 16:22 (ESV)
Good News
When you are feeling loss, choose to think about one thing you know will lift your spirit; the goodness and love of God. As you focus your attention on God’s goodness, look to His word and remember His promises.
He will never abandon you during your time of grief. He promises to lead you safely through the valley of the shadow of death. A shadow casted by the presence of His light. By placing your hope in God’s promises, however painful, you’ll move through the valley coming out the other side; ever changed with a renewed spirit of love and hope.
Through Jesus, He offers the only real and lasting hope that you can find. This is how we stretch our spiritual muscle; HOPE.
A Prayer for HOPE
Abba, my Father, if you are willing, take this suffering from me and deliver me from this pain! My heart is broken and my spirit mourns. I feel hopeless, alone and lost, Father. I have become so overwhelmed with sadness and despair that I often cease to seek your presence through scripture and prayer.
I pray that you reach down and surround me with Your supernatural power and strength. Protect me from Satan’s attempt of lies and discouragement that keep me in bondage and in constant misery from healing this broken heart.
Let me lean upon your strength, Father, and guard my heart, so I can grow strong once more and emerge from my loss with a renewed spirit of love and hope. Hear my prayer and grant me the peace that surpasses all understanding. It is in the name of our Lord and Savior that I pray, AMEN
Breath Prayer
Inhale: He binds up the wounds
Exhale: of my broken heart
Inhale: comfort me, Lord
Exhale: give me hope once more
Inhale: help me to rejoice Father
Exhale: even when I grieve

I’m grateful to have found you. As a Christ follower my girlfriend and workout buddy realized our yoga practice mixed in with our cardio and strength was not honoring to God. Since this was revealed to me I could not in good conscience continue that part of our routine.
My daughter told me about your Instagram account and I explored a little bit but had not dived in yet- we really miss the stretching and so far had not replaced it.
Fast forward several weeks——- I came across your content in my feed!
I started delving in. Your testimony is so in sync with my own and then your grief streTch came up after I read it….
My Bulldog Bailey passed away less than 72 hours ago. My heart is broken and my physical body is feeling the affects. I started right in stretching and absorbing the Word with your video. What a blessing in Gods perfect timing. Praise to our loving Father who cares about the details of our lives.
May God bless you in this ministry. So very grateful to be here with you!
