How God Meets Us in Grief | Jared Cagle
Episode 391
Monday, 4 May, 2026
What does it really mean to have all that you need, especially when you are grieving? Psalm 23 reminds us that the Good Shepherd does not remove the valley, watch from a distance, or lift us above it. He walks through the valley with us. Grieving is the appropriate response to life not being as it is supposed to be, and grieving is a gift from God on the pathway to healing. God the Father comforts us in our grief. He comes alongside us in our affliction, quiets us with His love, and reminds us that He is with us in the valley. God the Son understands our grief. Jesus stood at the tomb of Lazarus and wept with those who were hurting. He is the Man of Sorrows acquainted with grief, close enough to feel our pain and walk with us through it. God the Spirit intercedes as we grieve. On the days where we have no words, the Holy Spirit is already groaning on our behalf with groans too deep for words. We are never alone in the silence. We do not serve a God who watches from a safe distance. He gets all the way into the valley with us. Whatever the pit looks like for you today, you are not alone there. Jesus is our comfort, our hope, and the Good Shepherd who walks with us through grief.Check out our video version of this episode: https://youtu.be/KPEkE6G1QhkSubscribe to our YouTube channel here: https://youtu.be/8wmeCwBf_zkLearn more about us at chestnutmountain.orgFollow us on Facebook & Instagram @chestnutmtn_
