9 Bible Verses To Comfort Those Who Are Grieving

8/8/2018

No one goes through life without experiencing the loss of someone or something dear. The loss of a loved one is one of life’s most intense challenges and the pain can be overwhelming. But God doesn’t leave you to suffer alone.

He is despised and rejected by men, a Man of sorrows and acquainted with grief. - Isaiah 53:4

Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted. - Matthew 5:4

He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds. - Psalm 147:3

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any trouble. - 2 Corinthians 1:3, 4

Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand. - Isaiah 41:10

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me. - Psalm 23:4

I do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning those who have fallen asleep, lest you sorrow as others who have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who sleep in Jesus. - 1 Thessalonians 4:13, 14

The trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. So when this corruptible has put on incorruption, and this mortal has put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written: ‘Death is swallowed up in victory’. - 1 Corinthians 15:52, 54

God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away. - Revelation 21:4

Thank you for the comforting verses. I lost both parents a few months apart. The grief is strong.
The Lord does comfort and is with us during the painful times. Thanks for his precious words.

Just wanted to let you know that is Isaiah 53:3 (not 53:4). Thank you for this page. I am going to send this verse to a friend who is grieving. What a comfort to know our Maker is also acquainted with grief.

My oldest children and I have gone 3 years without my youngest child, Lucas. I was in a difficult time which I know, was simply meant to destroy me. Then I heard Elevation church’s song, “talkin to Jesus” I smiled as every sentence I related to. I started talking to Jesus and it saved my life. I had to develop the character that struggle built in me. During the atonement Jesus asks God, “is there any other way?”There was not and bc of his obedience we have forgiveness, grace, protection. Tiffany translates into “made in the image of God.” My mother was talking to Jesus.. She spoke my anointing that gave the words I spoke power and that stability I knew I had only in him became the foundation of my faith. I had no choice but to believe it bc I wanted to live and in order to live I needed hope. So I hoped and then I saw him speaking in my life things that the mind wants to second guess bc they are so miraculous. I kept talking to Jesus but then guess what? He kept speaking back and my obedience began creating mountains to literally move. He is the remover of obstacles, the alpha and omega, peace that surpasses all understanding.. he is my father. Father, thank you. I’m not ashamed to tell the world about my father, my protector, who my best friend is. Do you feel that?? I am humbled, thankful and in awe of his reward and timing. Pastor Steve from Elevation says, “faith beings favor”. Okay I see that. Thank you for saying that I’m not alone, I’m worth fighting for, I’m loved. Thank you for letting your miracles be evidence of that. I love you too father. Please forgive me for my past. Your word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path. I am yours yaweh. May 22 2021 is the first time we will see my son Lucas in 3 years. We are excitingly awaiting his arrival this weekend. That is also the day I graduated hs in Troy, MO 2002 and the day in 2010 I had gotten married. Now 11 years later it’s the first time in 3 years we will lay eyes on the piece of us we have missed so very long. Tragic events paved the way for this small town girl to grow up. I’ve been comforted and as I read verses I realize he tells us everything right here. Watch the words of my favorite book come to life. Jumanji would stop all copies of their movie if we documented ALL the evidence of his word being kept He has never failed us. We are told to just believe. Ego leads to disobedience and destruction. Free will. Keep it simple. The more you want the less you have. The less you want, the more you have.

Praying: Precious compassionate Father , allow Jim to feel your arms around him all of those lonely nights and mornings. Give him the courage and patience to just sit and grieve. Only YOU can heal the wounds of his heart. Guide him to find your comforting words spoken directly to him in the book of Psalms in the Bible. Allow him to know and see evidence of your tremendous love for him.-Pam
