How to be Happily Sad | John Ortberg

About this sermon

Blessed are those who are sad… Wait, what? QUESTION FOR THE YOUTUBE COMMENTS: What is something you are in mourning over? Here’s how: Are you in mourning over something? Spend a few minutes in silent stillness before God with no distractions. Tell him about what you are carrying (“Father, I’m in mourning over…”). Then be still and listen for his voice to speak and comfort you. Try reciting, as a blessing, over yourself, the words of Jesus: “Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.” Become New is here to help you grow spiritually one day at a time. 📧 Subscribe for daily emails with these videos and accompanying thoughts: https://bit.ly/46AZ0rN 🙏🏻 Need prayer?
