Trusting God When Life is Harsh

On Friday I woke up to a tremendous loss. My grandson, at four years old, had died in surgery. It is, for me, an unimaginable tragedy.  The pain is horrendous, and my family is shattered in a way that I cannot fix. At this moment I have the question long asked by many grieving Grandparents before me. How do I walk through this pain, support my grieving son, and worship the God that I asked to cover and protect them?

I searched the scriptures for answers. My example was King David in the book of 2nd Samuel 12 when his son died. The scripture says this, “20 Then David got up from the floor, washed himself, put lotions on, and changed his clothes. Then he went into the Lord’s house to worship.

My path to follow is very clear to me today. Through my grief and sorrow, I will worship the Lord. He is still God, He is still good, and I will trust Him with my very life. He is watching over us as we find our way through this. His grace is still His sufficient for me and His strength is made perfect in weakness. I trust God that my four-year-old grandson is resting safely in His hands.

  3. How well I understand. My 24 yr old grandchild was killed by a hit and run driver and my son stayed with me for two weeks healing just a month ago. Yes his Grace is sufficient

  4. Hi Sister Friend,
    There’s nothing anyone can say at this time in the hopes of you feeling better. All I can do is pray and be there for you if and when you need to talk or just sit and be still. My heart hurts for you because I know what that hurt feels like. Feel what you feel because God understands, can you imagine how his heart was breaking while his son suffered for others sin. God’s got you and I am here for you whenever you need to talk or just sit in silence. Remember girl I got you but God’s got you more. Love ya.
