Finding Help in the Time of Grief



    During the past month, I have often needed help. My brother's passing has caused much grief in our family. We miss him terribly. And, we are not alone in our grief. During the past month, there have been four other families connected with my church or myself who have lost love ones. These families have been plunged into the grieving process. The shock, hurt and sadness of loss is at times overwhelming. But, I know from experience the very best place to go for help when this happens. Humbly, I  point those who are hurting to Hebrews 4:14-16.

Hebrews 4
14 Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession.
15 For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.
16 Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.
