“convenient,” I have started this chapter with a section for any who
feel uncertain of their relationship with the Lord.
Before we look in more detail at the
effects on grief on our lives, the most important thing is to
entrust ourselves to His care and leading.
The principle remains as true in
times of grief as at any other part of our pilgrimage: that it is as
we seek first the Kingdom of God that He attends to our needs too.
