Today's episode of Revive Our Hearts is sponsored in part by members of our monthly partner team.

And we just want you to know how much your support means to us.

Thank you so much for your support.

Nancy DeMas-Walgamu says there's a key to grieving well as a Christian.

Learning to say, if it pleases you, Lord, it pleases me.

If your word says you are the Lord over life and death, then this is no accident.

This is the Revive Our Hearts podcast with Nancy DeMas Walgaphn, author of Brokenness, The Heart God Revives.

For August 29th, 2022, I'm Dana Gresh.

Have you or someone you know lost a spouse to death? It may have been recently or maybe decades ago, but the pain

you feel when your best friend steps into eternity can be absolutely excruciating. Today we're going

to hear from a widow. She's found comfort in the truth Nancy taught us all last week. We're wrapping

up a series called Christ,

Our Comfort in Life and Death. Last week, Nancy walked us phrase by phrase through the first

question and answer of the Heidelberg Catechism, written in 1563. The question is this,

What is your only comfort in life and death?

And then the answer is a series of biblically based truths strung together.

Let me read them. And while I do, why don't you allow these to flood your mind and your thoughts?

And our amazing audio editors are going to include some comments from Nancy and scripture passages that go with these phrases.

What is your only comfort in life and death? That I am not my own, but belong body and soul in life and in death to my faithful Savior, Jesus Christ.

Know that the Lord, He is God. It is He who made us, and we are His. We are His people

and the sheep of His pasture. Isaiah chapter 43, this is what the Lord says. The one who created you and the one who formed you, do not fear, for I have redeemed you.

We are His by creation and we are His by redemption.
