Facing tragedy, or life storms of any kind, can be extremely
difficult. But in the midst of heartache and pain, you can find the hope and
courage to go on. With God's help, the help of caring family members and
friends, and the encouragement found in the Bible and other resources, you will
receive the necessary strength to overcome.
You may be thinking, "I don't know how I could ever get
through this." Or you may be battling powerful feelings of despair,
suffering, confusion, fear, worry, and even anger. These are all normal
responses to tragedy.
But as difficult as this life storm may be, you are not
alone. God is with you always. He loves you, and cares about what is going on
in your life. He hears your cries and sees your pain. Moreover, He understands.
The Bible says, "And it was necessary for Jesus to be
like us, his brothers, so that he could be our merciful and faithful High
Priest before God, a Priest who would be both merciful to us and faithful to
God … For since He himself has now been through suffering … He knows what it is
like when we suffer … and He is wonderfully able to help us" (Hebrews
2:17-18 TLB). Whatever we endure, His care is certain, His love is unfailing,
and His promises are secure.
