The Gift Of Grief | Lisa Harper | Elevation Church

Grief may not always feel like a gift, but you're not alone! If you're struggling this week we challenge you to find someone you trust, and share with them what you're going through!

I normally don’t comment on these type of videos, but I felt compelled to do so today. I lost my mom on 06/12/2024. She was only 64 and I have been struggling everyday since. I’m not sad because my mom loved God and I know she’s in heaven, but I’m grieving because we hadn’t talked or seen each other in 12 years. I feel sad, angry, lonely, and confused. To make matters worse, my brothers have special needs and they were in her care when my oldest brother found her. I have experienced grief before but this pain has been the hardest to deal with. I know God is the closest to me during these times and I’m trying to lean on him because I don’t understand. Please pray for me and my family.

I lost my baby @nine months old..it's been a week now.. my heart is broken but I trust God will see me through this.pray for me.

last 3years ago my son (Alex) was diagnosed with stage four cancer but after praying for him and with my own faith, he was healed hallelujah 🙌🙌

THIS is the kind of REAL preaching we need. Non believers turn away because we seem fake. Just be real & love.

Hey you, who is reading this comment with your mind, may God always bless you and pray that you never lack food and water, Amen 🙏🏼💙🤟

I may never understand how God sends the messages as the right time. But I am thankful for the reminder that it is okay to grieve.

I lost my grandma less than 12 hours ago. This morning, while I was talking to a friend, I had said that I hope I get some sort of sign that she is happy in heaven. I don't know if this is a sign but I also do not believe it is a coincidence that a sermon such as this is posted less than 20 hours ago. Thank you, Pastor Harper. This grieving grandbaby needed this one today.

I pray for God's comfort, for whoever is mourning, sad, or has lost the courage to move on. Just know that his grace is still sufficient and you are not lost in the mind of God. Please know he is the strength in your weakness 🙏🏾

We just buried my 40 yr old nephew. He was hit by a truck that took an illegal left turn. I'm so thankful for God's comfort 🙏 ❤

This isn't a grief story, but I finally found a woman in another country that recently became my girlfriend. I pray everyday that God brought us together and that we can work through any obstacles to be together. We both have God first in our hearts and are dedicated to make this work. I could use many prayers that this works cause this woman is beyond amazing! ❤ To those who have lost someone and grieved, I understand. I lost my dad when I was young and any that need prayers, you'll be in mine 🙏

Finally!!! I am sad, I am mad, but I trust in God and I'm waiting for Him to answer. I wish I was there to sit down and some one lay his hands on me and pray. Pray for me. Pray for my marriage and my family 🙏

Greatest man who ever walked on earth, had no servants, yet they called him Master. Had no degree, yet they called him Teacher. Had no medicines, yet they called him Healer. He had no army, yet rulers feared him. He claimed no territory, yet they called him King. He won no military battles, yet he conquered the world. He defeated all his enemies, yet he never harmend anyone. He committed no crime, yet they crucified him. He was buried in a tomb, yet he lives today . His name is Jesus.

This sermon I can say God is the only one who could have led me here. Recently it was my dad's birthday and this is 4th year without him and it just hit me so hard and it's been so painful and sad and I just felt like I was drowning. I saw a clip of this on Tik Tok and found the sermon and my gosh it brought me to tears because it just felt like God was telling me that he hears me that I'm not in this alone and that's it's okay for it to hurt, I don't have to hide it. I pray it reaches so many other people who are hurting right now

My son passed away in April 2022 and my heart has been broken since that day. I know he is with the Lord and that gives me consolation, but it doesn’t help my heart and me missing him. He struggled and suffered a lot throughout his life and I know he is happy and whole and he is with Jesus. (the Lord gave me a dream of confirmation that he is in heaven as my son was showing me that his name was in the Lambs book of life, and it bought such comfort). But my heart goes out to those who have lost loved ones, but if they had a relationship with our Lord, we will see them again if we do the same. Thank You Lord for the promise of everlasting life!

From South Africa I grieve the loss of my husband...I am in the gap waiting on God for selling our home and relocating. Please pray for our family during this chapter in our life.

This woman is a powerhouse. I have never heard a sermon like this. So real and timely for me. Woooooooow glory to God

I lost two children since 2020. God stays close in the valley but I'm grateful he has stayed close to me and walked me forward. I'm stuck though

Wow! This is such confirmation as a widow (husband passed 2 yrs ago). The amount of people who have pushed their grief aside as it was not allowed because they felt God would be ashamed for them to FEEL how it is to lose a son and brother,nephew is astounding and how they would push me to do the same. But I lost my husband of 23 yrs with 4 kids. Only 41 years when he passed, I couldn’t push that love aside. And for anyone going thru the same, God is with you. He will meet you there in your tears and heartbreak

So thankful infertility/miscarriages were mentioned. Wish elevation sermons addressed that struggle more
