As the rescuers in the Texas Hill Country search for the missing, including more than 20 young girls from Camp Mystic who were washed away in the flooding in the middle of the night - it's a time when our faith shakes, we may not be able to pray or know how to pray. Everything feels like darkness. I've learned in these times we may have to make a conscious choice and decision to choose to continue to believe in God, especially on the days when we don't think we can or not sure if we do anymore. It's how the enemy is defeated from getting a grip into our minds during tragedy.

As a Christian, how do we handle grief? And how to we begin to heal?

Few things are more disorienting than losing someone you love — especially when it's sudden, unexpected, or traumatic. The world shifts. Time slows. Your nervous system is overwhelmed with waves of shock, sadness, confusion, or even numbness. And you wonder how to even begin functioning, let alone healing.
