Rise! In 66 days
Matthew 5:4: "Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted." Losing a loved one is one of the hardest things a person can ever go through. And while nothing can magically take away the pain, we can find comfort in Jesus. He gives us the strength to make it through the hardest parts, and the courage to resume life long afterward. And if that loved one had faith in Jesus, then we have even greater peace. We can rise knowing that he or she is no longer suffering, but is in heaven, enjoying the glory of God

Faith-In-Action:
The 5 stages of grief and loss are 1. Denial and isolation; 2. Anger; 3. Bargaining; 4. Depression; 5. Acceptance.
People who are grieving do not necessarily go through the stages in the same order or experience all of them. on for God to move in and replace our faltering strength with His. If you are mourning for a recent loss make sure to make time for feeling the emotions that arise, whether they are anger, sadness, or pain. There is no need to judge these emotions as good or bad and know that it is Ok to feel these and they will not last forever as all things come and go.

This week, we'll be transitioning into the idea of rising in it. This idea involves the difficult truth that more often than not, there are things that we can't change. Sometimes, there may not be a way out. But that doesn't mean that we can't soar. In fact, our darkest days can even strengthen our faith in God. It is in these moments that we learn to place all our hope in Christ.

Now we must dive deeper into how we can actually practice this in our own lives. After all, letting go of our burdens is far easier said than done. So how, then, should we approach them?
