Joy Over Grief Through Scriptural Prayers

by Priscilla Coleman Jenkins

Grief is defined as an emotional response to loss of people or things that are considered important. Also, loss of well-being, trauma and unexpected changes in life can produce feelings of grief.

The author encountered moving from place to place, abuse and passing of several loved ones that produced varied levels of grief over many years.

This book is her journey to the antonym of grief which is joy.

She describes her process to understand joy is more than happiness that is based on feelings. Bible joy is an act of faith, a choice to an expectation of good despite the past and current circumstances.

The last section of this book has Bible verses for the reader to create scriptural prayers in their journey of choosing joy.

Jesus said, “These things have I spoken unto you, that My joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full.” John 15:11

This book blessed me richly during a time of trial. It is concise and powerful. It contains a nice blend of teachings from the author and relevant Scriptures. One of the prayers from the book has become part of my daily prayer life. The chapters could be used as devotionals. Highly recommend.
