Grief Is Like an Ocean ~
Grief is like an ocean,
it ebbs in and out
some days are calm
others are a wipeout.
Grief is like a stream,
that keeps on flowing
some days it slows down
others it comes rushing.
Grief is like the wind,
that seems not to ease
some days get gusty
others are but a breeze.
Grief is like a storm,
that can be unyielding
some days are tranquil
others are unrelenting.
Grief is a process,
that defies the span of time
for the loss of a love one . . .
lasts a whole lifetime!

My Grief Comfort Verses
The Lord is my rock, and my fortress,
and my deliverer; my God, my strength,
in whom I will trust; my buckler,
and the horn of my salvation,
and my high tower.
” Blessed are they that mourn:
for they shall be comforted.”
“Fear thou not; for I am with thee:
be not dismayed; for I am thy God:
I will strengthen thee; yea,
I will help thee; yea, I will
uphold thee with the right hand
of my righteousness.”
“And the peace of God,
which passeth all understanding,
shall keep your hearts and minds
through Christ Jesus.”
“Yea, though I walk through the valley
of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil:
for thou art with me;
thy rod and thy staff they comfort me”
“And God shall wipe away all tears
from their eyes; and there shall
be no more death, neither sorrow,
nor crying, neither shall there be
any more pain: for the former things
are passed away.”
and so many more . . .

Our Stronghold ~
If God is our stronghold,
we will not faint
if He is our refuge
we’ll trust and wait.
If God is our rock,
we will be strong
if He is our fortress
we’ll sing a new song.
If God is our hedge,
we will be protected
if He is our salvation
we’ll never be rejected.
If God is our deliverer,
we will never fall back
if He is our shield
we’ll win every attack.
If God is our strength,
we will not be shaken
if He is our shelter . . .
we’ll not be forsaken!

Where To Turn ~
When I need some peace,
I turn to John 14:27
then I leave all my fears
on the throne up in heaven.
When I’m feeling anxious,
I read Philippians 4:6
then I give all my troubles
to God to mend and fix.
When I need more strength,
I mediate on Psalm 18:2
then I rely on God’s power
to help me to get through.
When I’m feeling worn out,
I study Isaiah 40:31
then in God I am renewed
and my worries I overcome.
When I am low on faith,
I refer to Matthew 15:28
then I learn to trust in God
even if I have to wait.
When I am feeling unloved,
I turn to John 3:16
then I just bask and soak up
all the love that Jesus brings!

My Rock ~
My Rock never leaves me,
forsake me He does not
my Rock is strong and sturdy
each time He is sought.
My Rock forever comforts,
protects and provides
my Rock is always present
from me He never hides.
My Rock is my strength,
the power of my might
my Rock is my safe haven
my refuge and my light.
My Rock has a name,
to which I call upon
my Rock is the Lord Jesus
and it’s to Him, I cling on!
