DISCLAIMER:

Grief and sorrow are important and natural parts of the human experience. It is healthy and healing to express deep emotions of grief and sorrow. For many people, a healthy grief process lasts a long time and has many layers. Sometimes people feel as if they want to skip the grief process and get over it. But in fact, the best thing to do when processing grief and loss is to face the feelings and express them. Then receive the Lord's comfort in the place of the grief. This process cannot be rushed! DO NOT use this prayer if the recipient is in the midst of a healthy grief process. However, sometimes people are burdened beyond what is healthy and natural, or seeming to be endlessly stuck in grief and sorrow. It is important to discern whether the recipient has an ungodly belief such as, "I deserve to be under this grief and sorrow," or "I will live in grief and sorrow for the rest of my life." Before using this tool, discern together as a team whether the recipient is going through a healthy season of grief and sorrow or whether he/she is under an undue burden of grief and sorrow directly connected to an ungodly belief.
