God of Comfort

Description

Popular culture would have us think that grief is a linear process. Something to move through in an orderly fashion, with a list of steps we can check off, with progress we can see, with the end in our sights. But the way through grief isn't a prescription. It's a person: the God of all comfort. When we grieve, God is already there, waiting to wrap us in his unfailing compassion. Yet in the mental fog and physical exhaustion of grief, it's hard to know where in the Bible to turn for help. With plenty of empathy--but zero empty platitudes--someone who knows the pain firsthand invites you on a 50-day journey to find your footing and flourish again after loss. Sharing comforting Scripture, guided prayers, journaling prompts, and honest poems, Lisa Appelo walks alongside you as a companion in your grief, gently pointing you to the character of God, who alone can provide real peace, strength, and hope in loss. Life will never be the same after a significant loss. But you can still find the peace, and even the joy, you long for. This devotional journal will help you work through those hard feelings, one day at a time.
