STUDY – “Pain/Suffering and Grief/Mourning”? – 6/11/2026
I have often looked gratefully back to my sick chamber. I am certain that I never did grow in grace one-half so much anywhere as I have upon the bed of pain.
—Charles Spurgeon (1834-1892), pastor, New Park Street Chapel, London
Bible Truth Behind the Quote:
The psalmist affirmed, “It is good for me that I was afflicted, that I might learn your statutes” (Psalm 119:71).
COMMENTS
As I read the article posted below yesterday, entitled Did God ever promise us a way out of pain and grief I thought of all the times I have looked at and posted on this subject over the last 20 years. Still, it never ceases to amaze me that with all the technology (online resources, free correspondence, etc.) available, folks are still fooled into believing a false gospel. Just have enough faith, and God will…, or send in $$$, and you will receive a prayer cloth, oil, and an abundance of blessings. These charlatans prey upon those in pain, those suffering, by promising them instant relief. God does not operate like the old Alka-Seltzer ad: take two, and what a relief it is.
First, let me reiterate: Can God heal anyone from anything? Yes. Can God remove all suffering from anyone at any time? Yes. As the true omnipotent God ruler of the universe, God has complete authority, knowledge, and presence in all creation. There is nothing He can not do. Is it proper to ask God to relieve our pain and suffering and that of others? Yes, through prayers and supplications. Is God required to answer those prayers and supplications in a manner we want? NO! God does all things for His glory, not ours.
Below, I have listed a few studies and articles that explain the Biblical View (the only one that should concern true Christians) on Grief, Mourning, Pain and Suffering. I hope they help us better understand these topics and prove useful to everyone in defending the faith against those who would twist God’s Holy Word.
STUDY
Grief. Emotional suffering brought on by bereavement, mishap, or disaster. To grieve is either to cause or feel sorrow or distress. The concept is found in the Scriptures under a variety of circumstances. Isaac and Rebekah experienced grief when their son Esau married a Hittite woman (Gn 26:35 KJV). God mourned the misery of Israel brought upon them by disobedience (Jgs 10:16 KJV). Hannah was so sad because she had no son that she appeared to be drunk while praying (1 Sm 1:16 KJV). Similarly, Samuel, distraught at King Saul’s disobedience, prayed all night. Job was exceedingly sorrowful over his personal loss (Jb 2:13; cf. 6:2; 16:6), and the psalmist poetically demonstrated distress and sorrow (cf. Pss 6:7; 31:9, 10; 69:26 KJV; 73:21 KJV; 95:10 KJV; 112:10 KJV). The Book of Lamentations is devoted to the expression of grief, and the prophets in general speak of judgment because Israel had grieved a holy God.
Jesus experienced sorrow and distress (Mk 3:5; Jn 11:33), including the death of a friend (Jn 11:35). The Jews are said to have been grieved as the apostles taught about Christ (Acts 4:2 KJV). The apostle Paul instructed believers not to grieve one another (Rom 14:15 KJV) and did not want to cause any sorrow himself (2 Cor 2:1–5 KJV). Most of all, the believer is not to grieve the Holy Spirit (Eph 4:30). A believer may, of course, suffer grief and suffering in an alien world (1 Pt 2:19 KJV). In Bible times grief was given particular expression at a time of death by means of shrieks, wails, and laments (cf. Jer 9:17, 18; Am 5:16; Mk 5:38).
Walter A. Elwell and Barry J. Beitzel, “Grief,” in Baker Encyclopedia of the Bible (Grand Rapids, MI: Baker Book House, 1988), 904.
Mourning – The expression of grief at a time of bereavement or repentance, often accompanied by weeping, tearing of clothes, and wearing sackcloth. [Although most treat Grief and Mourning as two completely different emotions or expressions, the Bible makes it clear they are linked, as Mourning is the outward expression of our internal grief.]

The True Ministry of Pain
(J. R. Miller, “In Green Pastures”)
There is a Christian art of enduring pain, which we should seek to learn. The real goal is not just to endure the suffering which falls into our life; to bear it bravely, without wincing; to pass through it patiently, even rejoicingly. Pain has a higher mission to us, than to teach us heroism. We should endure it in such a way as to get something of spiritual blessing out of it.
Pain brings to us some message from God, which we should not fail to hear. It lifts for us the veil which hides God’s face, and we should get some new glimpses of His beauty, every time we are called to suffer. Pain is furnace-fire, and we should always come out of this furnace, with the gold of our graces gleaming a little more brightly. Every experience of suffering ought in some way–to lift us nearer God, to make us more gentle and loving, and to leave the image of Christ shining a little clearer in our lives.
The first lesson in the school of tribulation!

Did God ever promise us a way out of pain and grief?
By Mark Creech, Op-ed Contributor Wednesday, June 10, 2026
[Excerpt] …Certainly, Scripture teaches that God works all things together for good to those who love Him. It teaches that suffering is never meaningless. It teaches that our trials are under the sovereign hand of a perfectly good and benevolent God.
But where does Scripture promise that every faithful believer will eventually experience some earthly form of restoration?
Consider the testimony of God’s Word…

A Manipulative Insult To God’s Nature: The Prosperity Gospel Is One Of The Most Dangerous Theological Ideas In The World
Despite its promises of health, wealth, and happiness, the prosperity gospel sells a bankrupt gospel.
You can hardly watch a Christian television network without seeing preachers in expensive suits proclaiming God’s desire to bless the audience with financial and physical security. Their message goes by various names: the health and wealth gospel, the word of faith movement, seed faith, and “name it and claim it” Christianity. But perhaps it’s best known as the prosperity gospel. I should know—at one time, I was right in the middle of it…

There are military families living quietly among us who carry a weight that most of us can scarcely imagine. They are the spouses whose hearts shattered at the loss of their partner and experienced another shattering as they found words to tell their children that their parent would never come home. They are the children who learned, at ages far too young, to live without their mom or dad. Surviving military families — those who have lost a service member parent or spouse — benefit greatly from a mental health community that understands the unique dimensions of their loss and is equipped to meet their needs.
