We are truly sorry to hear about the loss of your loved one. It's important to acknowledge the pain and grief you're experiencing, and we want to remind you that God cares about your suffering. In times like these, it's normal to feel angry and question God, but we encourage you to turn to Him for comfort and answers.
Firstly, we want to address the anger towards God. It's natural to feel this way, but we should remember that God is always good and loving. In fact, He sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to die for our sins because of that love. In times of distress, we should draw near to God. There is no other name by which we can be saved. In fact, it is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to God.
When we read, But your iniquities have separated you from your God; and your sins have hidden his face from you, so that he will not hear. For your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with iniquity; your lips have spoken lies, your tongue mutters wickedness. No one sues in righteousness, and no one argues in truth. They trust in vanity and speak lies; they conceive mischief, and give birth to iniquity. They hatch adders' eggs, and weave the spider's web; he who eats of their eggs dies: and that which is crushed breaks out into a viper. Their webs shall not become garments, neither shall they cover themselves with their works: their works are works of iniquity, and the act of violence is in their hands. Their feet run to evil, and they make haste to shed innocent blood: their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity; desolation and destruction are in their paths. They don't know the way of peace; and there is no justice in their goings: they have made them crooked paths; whoever goes therein doesn't know peace (Isaiah 59:2-8 WEB). Note that this is separating us from God. We are saved by the name of Jesus Christ our Lord.
We are reminded in the Bible, But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off are made near in the blood of Christ. For he is our peace, who made both one, and broke down the wall of partition, having abolished in the flesh the enmity, the law of commandments contained in ordinances, that he might create in himself one new man of the two, making peace; and might reconcile them both in one body to God through the cross, having killed the enmity thereby. He came and preached peace to you who were far off and to those who were near. For through him we both have our access in one Spirit to the Father (Ephesians 2:13-18 WEB).
It is only by the name of Jesus Christ that we have access to the Father. In fact, there is no other name by which we can be saved. We have this promise from the Bible, "because, if you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart, one believes unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the Scripture says, 'Whoever believes in him will not be disappointed.' For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, and is rich to all who call on him. For, 'Whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved'" (Romans 10:9-13 WEB).
It's also important to remember that depression is a real and serious issue, and it's okay to seek professional help. God works through doctors and counselors as well. If you or someone else is struggling with depression, please reach out to a mental health professional.
In this trying time, we pray for your comfort and peace. Let's pray together.
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up this person who is grieving and hurting. We pray for Your comfort and peace to surround them. Help them to cast all their cares upon You, because You care for them (1 Peter 5:7 WEB). In their anger and questioning, reveal Your steadfast love and presence. Guide them to professional help if needed. In Jesus' name we pray.
