Puritan preachers had to help parents make sense of their powerlessness in these circumstances, so they preached three specific truths. “Children are on loan from God and do not belong to us; Your young child who has died will be reunited with you; and God intends your good” (Nancy Guthrie, “Lessons from the Puritans in Grieving the Loss of a Child,” \u003cem\u003eThe Gospel Coalition\u003c\/em\u003e, October 28, 2020, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.thegospelcoalition.org\/article\/puritans-loss-child\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ehttps:\/\/www.thegospelcoalition.org\/article\/puritans-loss-child\/\u003c\/a\u003e). The parents’ powerlessness was surpassed by the power and goodness of God. This truth gave them courage to grieve and carry on.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ministry Pass","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68166323077436,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0852\/9874\/1564\/files\/ScreenShot2026-11-13at10.29.42AM.png?v=1794587423","url":"https:\/\/app.ministrypass.com\/products\/courage-to-grieve","provider":"Ministry Pass","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
