In addition to feeling God’s comfort and remembering His promises, the Bible gives hope for the future – an eternal life in God’s presence. So now I can walk in your presence, O God, in your life-giving light. For you have rescued me from death you have kept my feet from slipping. I trust in God, so why should I be afraid? What can mere mortals do to me? I will fulfill my vows to you, O God, and will offer a sacrifice of thanks for your help. I praise God for what he has promised yes, I praise the Lord for what he has promised. And the peace I give is a gift the world cannot give. I am leaving you with a gift-peace of mind and heart. I will strengthen you and help you I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. So do not fear, for I am with you do not be dismayed, for I am your God. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow-not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love. No power in the sky above or in the earth below-indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord. And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Romans 8:35, 37-39Ĭan anything ever separate us from Christ’s love? Does it mean he no longer loves us if we have trouble or calamity, or are persecuted, or hungry, or destitute, or in danger, or threatened with death? No, despite all these things, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loved us. If this were not so, would I have told you that I am going to prepare a place for you? When everything is ready, I will come and get you, so that you will always be with me where I am. Trust in God, and trust also in me. There is more than enough room in my Father’s home. John 14:1-3ĭon’t let your hearts be troubled. Remembering the promises God has made to his people can not only comfort mourners, but in many ways, it will also bring a renewed perspective of who God will be through this trial. For he does not enjoy hurting people or causing them sorrow. Though he brings grief, he also shows compassion because of the greatness of his unfailing love. For no one is abandoned by the Lord forever. So it is good to wait quietly for salvation from the Lord. I say to myself, “The Lord is my inheritance therefore, I will hope in him! The Lord is good to those who depend on him, to those who search for him. Great is his faithfulness his mercies begin afresh each morning. The faithful love of the Lord never ends! His mercies never cease. The Lord is close to the brokenhearted he rescues those whose spirits are crushed. Matthew 5:4īlessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. Surely your goodness and unfailing love will pursue me all the days of my life and I will live in the house of the Lord forever. You honor me by anointing my head with oil.
You prepare a feast for me in the presence of my enemies. Your rod and your staff protect and comfort me. Even when I walk through the darkest valley, I will not be afraid, for you are close beside me. He guides me along right paths, bringing honor to his name. He lets me rest in green meadows leads me beside peaceful streams. The Lord is my shepherd I have all that I need. When they are troubled, we will be able to give them the same comfort God has given us. He comforts us in all our troubles so that we can comfort others. God is our merciful Father and the source of all comfort. 2 Corinthians 1:3-4Īll praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. For my yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls. Matthew 11: 28-30Ĭome to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. In the midst of the emotional turmoil, words of comfort from the Bible can be exactly what you and other mourners need. When someone you love dies, you may experience a wide variety of emotions: sadness, anger, shock, denial, relief, and guilt, to name a few. Personalizing the service with your loved one’s favorite verses or passages that bring hope can help you create a healing and meaningful service for all who attend.
