Some believers feel guilty when they grieve because they know that they should rejoice in the Lord always (Phil. 4:4). Others use grief as an occasion to say, like Job, 'God hath overthrown me' (Job 19:6). Yet there is a better and more biblical path to follow. Using Lamentations 3:1-39 as a guide, Ryan M. McGraw furnishes readers with the necessary tools to grieve in a sanctified way and exercise faith under hardship. Come and learn to express rather than repress your grief as you walk through sorrows with Christ by faith. Table of Five Biblical Ways to Express Grief God's Displeasure Hard Providences Unanswered Prayer Persecution and Hardship Confessing Our Weakness How Should We Grieve? Exercising Faith Under Hardship Turn Our Grief into Prayer Confront Our Grief with Meditation Be Humbled under Grief How Should We Grieve through Faith in Christ? What About When I Lose a Loved one in Christ? Christ Is Near to Us in Our Grief Death Is from the Lord Grieve Rather than Stifle Grief Do Not Be Alone Series Description D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones once said that what the church needs to do most all is 'to begin herself to live the Christian life. If she did that, men and women would be crowding into our buildings. They would say, 'What is the secret of this?'' As Christians, one of our greatest needs is for the Spirit of God to cultivate biblical godliness in us in order to put the beauty of Christ on display through us, all to the glory of the triune God. With this goal in mind, this series of booklets treats matters vital to Christian experience at a basic level. Each booklet addresses a specific question in order to inform the mind, warm the affections, and transform the whole person by the Spirit's grace, so that the church may adorn the doctrine of God our Savior in all things.
