1
00:00:02,640 --> 00:00:06,480
Speaker 1: And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes,

2
00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:12,560
Speaker 1: and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow nor crying,

3
00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:17,119
Speaker 1: neither shall there be any more pain, for the former

4
00:00:17,239 --> 00:00:25,080
Speaker 1: things are passed away. Revelations twenty one four. Dear God,

5
00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:29,080
Speaker 1: you have promised that in the life to come, death

6
00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:34,800
Speaker 1: and pain will be no more. What a beautiful promise

7
00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:40,960
Speaker 1: that gives us hope for eternity. In this life we

8
00:00:41,159 --> 00:00:46,760
Speaker 1: may feel the weight of sorrows and troubles, but in

9
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:53,280
Speaker 1: your presence there is fullness of joy. Your heart longs

10
00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:59,200
Speaker 1: to bring us peace and rest, and to restore our souls.

11
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:04,319
Speaker 1: May all who seek refuge in You be blessed with

12
00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:09,400
Speaker 1: grace and mercy, so that we may live in light

13
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:14,640
Speaker 1: of eternity. We give thanks for your redeeming love and

14
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:18,480
Speaker 1: look forward to the day when the streets of heaven

15
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:25,560
Speaker 1: will shine as irradiantly as gold. In Jesus' name, Amen,

16

19
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:48,560

Speaker 2: you can't get in, or the pharmacy runs out of

25
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:06,120

Speaker 3: my friend's, our goal for today's meditative prayer is healing grief.

41
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:20,000
Speaker 3: Let's be honest, death will always be difficult to deal with,

42
00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:25,080
Speaker 3: So today I want you to take a minute to

43
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:31,800
Speaker 3: gather your thoughts and to quiet your spirit. Accommodate yourself

44
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:41,280
Speaker 3: into a comfortable state. Close your eyes and breathe easy.

45
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 3: Now turn your heart and fix your attention to what

46
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:49,440
Speaker 3: God has for you right now. Let us take this

47
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 3: time now to adore God for the promise of eternity. Jesus,

48
00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 3: I praise you, for you are the eternal, loving God.

49
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:05,960
Speaker 3: I worship you for with your blood you brought an

50
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:11,040
Speaker 3: end to all suffering. I exalt you, Jesus, for by

51
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:15,080
Speaker 3: your love and the power of your sacrifice, you redeem

52
00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:21,839
Speaker 3: and restore all God. Praise you, Jesus, for you alone

53
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:27,400
Speaker 3: conquered sin, and you paid its price. Right now I

54
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:32,880
Speaker 3: sing Hallelujah, for the Lamb of God has overcome. My

55
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:40,279
Speaker 3: heart extols the Lord and blesses his name forever. Grief

56
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:44,320
Speaker 3: is not all powerful. It does have a final end,

57
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:48,440
Speaker 3: but the sting of death pains us because this side

58
00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 3: of eternity it seems pretty final. But one day, the

59
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:58,760
Speaker 3: grave will lose its power and death will be defeated

60
00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:04,040
Speaker 3: once in for all. Jesus paid for this promise, my friends,

61
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:10,440
Speaker 3: with his blood. So although loss hurts so deeply, because

62
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:15,000
Speaker 3: we're not created for separation. You were created for more.

63
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:21,040
Speaker 3: You're an eternal being, made and molded in the image

64
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:24,720
Speaker 3: and the likeness of God. And God has a good

65
00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:30,400
Speaker 3: plan for your future, a future filled with love, with joy,

66
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:35,320
Speaker 3: and with eternal fellowship forever in his presence. All you

67
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:40,960
Speaker 3: have to do is open your heart to him. Confess

68
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:44,560
Speaker 3: your loss and your sorrow to Christ. Right now, my friends,

69
00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:51,799
Speaker 3: because He's waiting for you. Let us now thank God

70
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:57,000
Speaker 3: that one day grief will be no more. Thank Him

71
00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:03,800
Speaker 3: for his promise of redemption and restorate. Thank Jesus that

72
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:09,400
Speaker 3: he conquered sin and he conquered the grave. Give thanks

73
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:12,479
Speaker 3: for the promise of an eternal life free of separation

74
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:20,120
Speaker 3: and suffering. Thank Him for the Cross. Thank God for

75
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:23,719
Speaker 3: his love and his care that has sustained you and

76
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:28,760
Speaker 3: will continue to do so for all time. My friends,

77
00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:34,159
Speaker 3: God is present and he's listening to you. He loves you,

78
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:39,320
Speaker 3: and he sees your pain. God's closer than you think,

79
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:44,120
Speaker 3: and right now This is your moment to reach out

80
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:48,520
Speaker 3: to him. Ask God to comfort your weary soul and

81
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:53,640
Speaker 3: your heavy heart. Ask him for his peace that surpasses

82
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:59,200
Speaker 3: all understanding. Ask the Holy Spirit to help you keep

83
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:04,040
Speaker 3: your eyes on Jesus and ask him to fill your

84
00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:10,040
Speaker 3: heart with the promise and assurance of the future to come. Remember,

85
00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:15,680
Speaker 3: Jesus conquered the grave and through grace offers you eternity.

86
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:22,080
Speaker 3: My friends, embrace the promise that grief has an expiration date.

87
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:27,800
Speaker 3: Take heart and have courage. It may not feel like

88
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:33,360
Speaker 3: it right now, but this pain, too, shall pass. So

89
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:37,480
Speaker 3: hold fast to Jesus's vow of the final victory to come.

90
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:43,000
Speaker 3: Find solace in the knowledge that you are not alone.

91
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:47,680
Speaker 3: Jesus sees you, he loves you, and he will keep

92
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:53,880
Speaker 3: his word. Let yourself experience God's restoration and be filled

93
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:58,080
Speaker 3: with the comfort of the Lord. Thank you for completing
