Scripture to comfort

God’s Word provides powerful comfort in grief. Because scripture is alive and active, time in the Word settles our heart and anchors our emotions in loss. God's word has many Bible vereses to help us grieve with hope. I’ve asked several author and ministry leader friends who’ve walked through grief from various kinds of loss to share their favorite Bible verses to comfort in grief. These writers and ministry leaders each share a favorite scripture and how that verse impacted their grief…

Matthew 11:28-30 ESV Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”

Whether you're searching for strength or reassurance during a trying time, these comforting Bible verses are sure to offer encouragement and hope.

When you are in a low season, sometimes it’s hard to think clearly. When we memorize scripture, we can call upon that scripture even in our seasons of weakness, and remember the truth about who God is, and what he promises us. We invite you to memorize Psalm 18:16 “He reached down from on high and took hold of me. He drew me out of deep waters.”
