This week remember those you have loved and lost. Although this week is specifically about a loved one dying, loss can also include a divorce or end of any type of relationship. Praise God for the time you had and focus on the positive memories.
If you are still angry or confused with God over such a loss, please pray for God to help heal your wounded heart and soul. Reflect on 1 Corinthians 13:12 (I really like the amplified version below). This had become my favorite verse because it reminds me that while I am on this side of heaven, I may not understand why bad things happen, but when I see Jesus face to face, all will be clear. That has given me great peace throughout many trials of my life. Pray the Holy Spirit will bring you peace.
If you have difficulty in healing from loss, there is never any shame from seeking professional, Godly counseling to help you through a tough time.
(1 Corinthians 13:12, AMP)For now [in this time of imperfection] we see in a mirror dimly [a blurred reflection, a riddle, an enigma], but then [when the time of perfection comes we will see reality] face to face. Now I know in part [just in fragments], but then I will know fully, just as I have been fully known [by God].
Also, when you pray this week, reflect on the below verses and praise God for the beautiful gift of Heaven for those who faithfully serve Him.
(Revelation 21:4-5 & 21) And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. And he that sat upon the throne said, “Behold, I make all things new.” And the twelve gates were twelve pearls: every several gate was of one pearl: and the street of the city was pure gold, as it were transparent glass.
