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 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.

Rylieeee 😇 you’ll see that she’s still around you if you take some photos around the area you’re in right now 🌹 JOYOUS GRANDBABY 🫶🏼 She’ll be there 🗣️ try it! I’ll help you if you can’t see her by yourself 🙏🏼

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 🙏🏾

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 🙏

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

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 🙏

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

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!

I lost my husband on the 4th July. He had a heart attack at 40 years old. Leaving me behind with a seven year old daughter and 6 months pregnant. All I know now is that heaven is real and if there’s anything I want is to be reunited with my husband again in the sweet bye and bye ❤

Thank you, Lisa!

Watching from South Africa 🇿🇦. The timing of this 😢. Oh how faithful is God

I love Lisa's humor. It's a bonus to have a good laugh with exceptional teaching.

Absolutely great sermon! It really helped me to see God more clearly, God bless Jesus loves us all, even in the hard times. Even when there is no answer from Him yet, there is His presence. Learning that is what I was missing as a Christian. Praise You, God, thank you, God.

What an assignment to preach during a period of grief and an even more challenging one to do so in the context of your own gift. May the Lord's loving embrace be all the comfort you need Lisa Harper. Thank you for sharing

Thank you, Pastor Lisa I love you

Jamie from Fort Worth, Texas. I too normally do not make comments. Well quite honestly I just learned how to. I'm almost 60 and I'm reading the comments and I bear witness with the comments that I have read and I will be praying for you guys, the followers, the ones out of the country. May God give you the Divine appointments in the Divine energy encounters that only God can give to open doors that need to be opened for you and to bring people alongside you to lift you up to encourage you strangers being open to outside influences that are godly outside ways of manifestation for finances through God be open to all avenues. God's always trying to talk to us while we sit. Still enough long enough to listen. Be open to the ways God wants to talk to you. Share with you. Lift you up. Be open to the way he will shower you with gifts, materially and spiritually. God bless you all. Thank you and and do keep Jamie from Fort Worth Texas in your prayers for her family for her two daughters and her little sister Jessica. The whole family Satan has done a good job at dividing us and I am believing and knowing that God's going to bring us back together but it has been a long long season. I'm ready for the victories to come. Thank you so much. God bless, shalom, shalom, amen and amen

This came at the right time for me. My older brother (53) and his wife were killed in a car accident on June 2, of this year. I was struggling so hard with dealing with everything. This sermon was for me, Thank you so much Lisa! You are such a blessing.

I’ve experienced this first hand with God being near to me when it’s a dark place and in that bottom pit and you feel abandoned by everyone you even feel like God and all of heaven are not near and and you just want to throw in the towel ; it’s 1000% the opposite God is sooo near and your breakthrough is also.

LOVE LISA HARPER SO MUCH ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

This speaks volumes. I went through periods in my life of grief and it always took a while to come around. During the times I felt like a complete failure but Jesus never looked at me like a failure failure

This really spoke to me as I navigate the grief that comes from seeing my loving husband sinking into dementia. It has been a long journey from thinking I could not possibly actually be thankful to see him suffer to knowing that God has His loving arms around me and feeling His presence so deeply. I have faith that God is sovereign, but He also knows how deeply it hurts. I trust Him and know that on the other side of this will be blessings.

Whew thank you

Thank you. Sister❤️❤️.. my dog went to heaven and thank God for how close Jesus is to me in my heartbreak

I trusted God and he didn't answer me... I also lost my another aunt last month... I am in a place where I am hurt because of His silence because I see Him answering other ppls prayers... So I feel guilty of blaming Him and thinking this kinds of thoughts... I really don't understand my faith is shattered broken but I just want to thank you for this msg it feels like God was speaking to me through this.... I still understand and I am still at the same place but I just got to cry throughout the sermon thank you for that...

Perfect timing for me to hear this. Thank you so much for your vulnerability and reminder of truth, Lisa! My faith has been beaten down, but just today before I heard this, God encouraged me to "Have faith in ME". As a person once very active in ministry, I have wavered...stumbled...for lack of faith in my seasons of grieving, but today...deeply encouraged! Thank you!!

Grief brought me to my greatest purpose.. I was able to get sober and have encouraged others to do the same… grief has taught me how to gently love others through their own struggles and time of need

I love when Lisa preaches!!!!!!!

Thank you so much Lisa for the msg. So at the right time. I am going through a terrible season with horrible triggers and the wait for the in-between time in my life. I remember throwing in the towel and confessing to Him that I couldn't do it anymore. Well, I am glad that in that grief I was able to turn to Him. I have no one to share my grief with cause I don't know how people are gonna take it. Please pray that I may find a good mate to share it with and to feel His presence.

What a beautiful sermon. Such a reminder of what God did for me. I found myself at a similar place in a different situation. But forgot why I was facing what I faced. Thank you so much.

Thank you Lisa. Such a timely word!

Thank you, Lisa for allowing our God to use you, to be a voice for Him. I couldn’t relate more with what you shared. Thank you for reminding me in the waiting it may not be ok but, will be. Today I thank our God for the grief, the disappointment even though I don’t feel it yet.
