  Speaker 5: harm and danger. In the name of Jesus. And now
• 5:51
  Speaker 5: we give this show to you have your way. In
• 5:55
  Speaker 5: this episode, in Jesus' name, we do pray. And our
• 6:00
  Speaker 5: quote for the week is coming from Grades Anatomy and
• 6:08
  Speaker 5: it says, then we bargain, we beg we plead, we
• 6:14
  Speaker 5: offer everything we have, We offer up our souls in
• 6:20
  Speaker 5: exchange for just one more day. And that was said
• 6:25
  Speaker 5: by Merritt Gray and Grades Anatomy. Tonight, we're gonna be
• 6:33
  Speaker 5: talking about the third stage of grief episode in our
• 6:42
  Speaker 5: series on the Five Stages of Grief, when if only
• 6:50
  Speaker 5: becomes the Language of the Heart. If you've been following
• 6:58
  Speaker 5: this series, we've already done discuss the first two stages
• 7:02
  Speaker 5: of grief, denial and anger. Then today we move on
• 7:08
  Speaker 5: to the third stage of grief, bargaining. Bargaining is one
• 7:14
  Speaker 5: of the most emotionally exhausting stages because it is filled
• 7:20
  Speaker 5: with questions that have no answers and commons that can
• 7:28
  Speaker 5: never change the past. It is the place where our
• 7:33
  Speaker 5: mind desperately search for another ending to our story. To
• 7:41
  Speaker 5: today's episode is called when it Only becomes the Language
• 7:46
  Speaker 5: of the heart. Let's begin with what is bargaining. Bargaining
• 7:52
  Speaker 5: is our attempt to regain a sense of control after
• 7:57
  Speaker 5: experiencing a devastation. Laws When tragedy happens, we often ask
• 8:05
  Speaker 5: ourselves if only I had called, if only I had stayed,
• 8:11
  Speaker 5: if only I had noticed the signs, if only I
• 8:16
  Speaker 5: had prayed harder, If only we had gone to another doctor,
• 8:22
  Speaker 5: If only I had said I loved them one more time.
• 8:28
  Speaker 5: Notice how many of these thoughts begin with if only
• 8:34
  Speaker 5: these statements reveal a heart that desperately wants another chance.
• 8:43
  Speaker 5: Bargaining is not weakness. It is the mind's attempt to
• 8:49
  Speaker 5: rewrite a painful story. Why do we bargain? Love leaves
• 8:58
  Speaker 5: us powerless, for bargaining creates the illusion that maybe there
• 9:05
  Speaker 5: was something that could have been done differently. Our brains
• 9:11
  Speaker 5: would what a rather believe we had control than except
• 9:16
  Speaker 5: that some events were beyond our control. This stage often
• 9:23
  Speaker 5: includes guilt, regret, self blame, second guessing, and endless mental
• 9:33
  Speaker 5: replay of the events. Many people spend months or even
• 9:40
  Speaker 5: years reliving the same moment I recall after my son
• 9:49
  Speaker 5: passed away, I'm spent months thinking, if only I had
• 9:55
  Speaker 5: taken him to another hospital, If only I knew that
• 10:00
  Speaker 5: that was gonna be our last night together, what would
• 10:05
  Speaker 5: I have done differently? Many people also bargain spiritually. You
• 10:12
  Speaker 5: may have heard yourself saying, God, if you bring them back,
• 10:18
  Speaker 5: I'll serve you forever.
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: Lord.
• 10:20
  Speaker 5: If you heal them, I'll never complain again. If you
• 10:25
  Speaker 5: fix this, God, I'll become a better person. These prayers
• 10:31
  Speaker 5: usually come from desperation, then faith. Throughout scripture, we see
• 10:40
  Speaker 5: people crying out honestly to God. Thems the psalms are
• 10:45
  Speaker 5: filled with questioning, tears and heartfelt Please. God welcomes our
• 10:53
  Speaker 5: honesty even when we don't understand His ways. Understanding the
• 11:00
  Speaker 5: difference between prayer and bargaining, prayer says Lord, I trust you.
• 11:08
  Speaker 5: Bargaining says Lord, I'll trust you if you changed this,
• 11:14
  Speaker 5: prayer surrenders, bargaining negotiates. Eventually, healing begins. When we release
• 11:23
  Speaker 5: our need to negotiate with what cannot be changed. We
• 11:29
  Speaker 5: have to accept the fact that we can't change it,
• 11:33
  Speaker 5: that nothing that we would have done would have changed
• 11:38
  Speaker 5: that outlook. Biblical examples David King. David experienced profound grief
• 11:49
  Speaker 5: after the illness of his infant son. He fasted, he prayed,
• 11:55
  Speaker 5: he cried out to God. He hoped for a miracle,
• 12:00
  Speaker 5: But when his son died, David eventually accepted reality Second
• 12:08
  Speaker 5: Samuel twelve and twenty three. But now he is dead?
• 12:14
  Speaker 5: Wherefore should I fast? Can I bring him back again?
• 12:20
  Speaker 5: I shall go to him, but he shall not return
• 12:25
  Speaker 5: to me. David stopped bargaining. He accepted what he could
• 12:31
  Speaker 5: not change. Acceptance does not erase your love. Acceptance simply
• 12:43
  Speaker 5: allows the healing to begin. Guilt is not the same
• 12:52
  Speaker 5: as responsibilities. One of the greatest struggles doing bargaining is
• 12:58
  Speaker 5: guilt as yourself. Was I truly responsible or in my
• 13:07
  Speaker 5: camera responsibility that belongs to circumstances beyond my control. Healthy
• 13:15
  Speaker 5: gifts said I made this mistake. False guilt says I
• 13:22
  Speaker 5: should have controlled something no human being could control. Learn
• 13:28
  Speaker 5: the difference. It is essential. The trap of what if?
• 13:36
  Speaker 5: What if? Thinking becomes a prison. What if I had
• 13:43
  Speaker 5: stayed home? What if I answered the phone? What if
• 13:49
  Speaker 5: I recognize the symptoms? What what if? What if? Each
• 13:56
  Speaker 5: Every answer creates another question. Eventually you discover there is
• 14:05
  Speaker 5: no finish line. Healing begins when you gently replace what
• 14:11
  Speaker 5: if with what now? Instead of replaying yesterday, begin asking
• 14:20
  Speaker 5: how can you faithfully live today? Jesus understands greed the
• 14:29
  Speaker 5: reason why Jesus took on earthly fleshed was so he
• 14:35
  Speaker 5: can understand everything that we go through. Jesus suffered all
• 14:40
  Speaker 5: the emotions that we did. He was depressed, he questioned God.
• 14:48
  Speaker 5: He was hungry, he was thirsty, he was tempted, yet
• 14:54
  Speaker 5: he was without sin. So Hebrews four says, come boldly
• 15:04
  Speaker 5: to the throne of grace. That means that we can
• 15:07
  Speaker 5: go boldly to the throne of grace. And Jesus is
• 15:11
  Speaker 5: not gonna shame us. He's not gonna make us feel guilty,
• 15:16
  Speaker 5: but we could be neked and not ashamed with him.
• 15:19
  Speaker 5: He knows everything that we're going through, so we have
• 15:22
  Speaker 5: to be honest with him. I'm feeling this way, I'm
• 15:26
  Speaker 5: feeling this. I did this, and God is gonna welcome
• 15:30
  Speaker 5: you with open arms. Jesus himself experienced deep sorrow. He
• 15:39
  Speaker 5: stood outside lazarus tomb and wet John eleven and thirty five.
• 15:47
  Speaker 5: Jesus wet. Jesus knew Lazarids would be raised, would be raised,
• 15:55
  Speaker 5: yet he still cried. That reminds us that grief is
• 16:00
  Speaker 5: not a lack of faith. Tears and faith can exist together.
• 16:07
  Speaker 5: What happens if you stay stuck in the bargaining faith.
• 16:14
  Speaker 5: Remaining in bargaining for too long can affect many areas
• 16:20
  Speaker 5: of your life. You may find yourself living in constant regret,
• 16:29
  Speaker 5: feeling trapped by guilt, struggling to make decisions, believing you
• 16:39
  Speaker 5: don't deserve joy, avoiding relationships because you're afraid of another loss,
• 16:48
  Speaker 5: becoming emotionally exhausted by replaying the past over and over again.
• 16:56
  Speaker 5: It's like you pay the same movie on repeat. When
• 17:03
  Speaker 5: we remain stuck, our lives become centered around events we
• 17:11
  Speaker 5: cannot change. Healing cause us to gently turn towards the
• 17:17
  Speaker 5: future while honoring the paths. Practical tools for moving through
• 17:25
  Speaker 5: bargaining write the if only lists. Take a journal and
• 17:31
  Speaker 5: write if only every if only thought that comes to mind.
• 17:38
  Speaker 5: Don't censor yourself after each statement, ask was this truly
• 17:46
  Speaker 5: within my control? You may discover that many of the
• 17:51
  Speaker 5: burdens you have carried was never yours to bear. Replace
• 18:00
  Speaker 5: regret with truth. For every regret, write one truthful statement.
• 18:09
  Speaker 5: For example, if only I had known truth, I made
• 18:15
  Speaker 5: the best decision I could with the information that I
• 18:20
  Speaker 5: had at that time. Truth has the power to quiet
• 18:26
  Speaker 5: false guilt. Three. Practice self compassion. Speak to yourself the
• 18:34
  Speaker 5: way you would speak to someone you deeply love. Instead
• 18:39
  Speaker 5: of saying I failed, try saying I was hurting and
• 18:45
  Speaker 5: did the best I could. Compassion creates room for healing.
• 18:53
  Speaker 5: Release what you cannot control. Some questions will never be answered,
• 19:02
  Speaker 5: some losses will never make sense. That doesn't mean your
• 19:07
  Speaker 5: life cannot still have meaning. Healing begins when we release
• 19:15
  Speaker 5: the need to understand everything. Lean on God's presence. Isaiah
• 19:24
  Speaker 5: forty ten reminds us fear not, for I am with thee.
• 19:32
  Speaker 5: I will strengthen thee. Yeay, I will help them. God's
• 19:37
  Speaker 5: presence does not erase pain, but it assures us we
• 19:44
  Speaker 5: do not walk fill it alone. Every obstacle, every storm
• 19:51
  Speaker 5: that I survived, it was because Jesus was with me
• 19:57
  Speaker 5: in the storm. No, he did and stopped the rein
• 20:02
  Speaker 5: from falling in my life. But he held the umbrella
• 20:06
  Speaker 5: that kept me from getting wet. Think about which about
• 20:15
  Speaker 5: one if only statement you've carried now? Ask yourself, did
• 20:22
  Speaker 5: I truly have control over this? Am I judging my
• 20:27
  Speaker 5: past self with knowledge I only gain later? What would
• 20:34
  Speaker 5: I say to a friend carrying this same burden? Is
• 20:41
  Speaker 5: there a burden I need to release today? Imagine placing
• 20:49
  Speaker 5: that burden into God's hand. Pray quietly, Lord, Allelujah, I
• 21:02
  Speaker 5: release what I cannot change. Help me let go of
• 21:08
  Speaker 5: false skill and receive your peace. Teach me to trust
• 21:13
  Speaker 5: you with both my questions in my future. Take another
• 21:20
  Speaker 5: deep breath. Allow yourself to rest for a moment. Healing
• 21:29
  Speaker 5: does not happen because we stop loving. Healing happens because
• 21:36
  Speaker 5: we learn to carry our love differently. You do not
• 21:42
  Speaker 5: honor your loved one by living under endless guilt. You
• 21:48
  Speaker 5: honor them by living fully, by loving deeply, by serving others,
• 21:57
  Speaker 5: by carrying their memory forward with hope instead of condemnation.
• 22:04
  Speaker 5: The past cannot be rewritten, but your future is still
• 22:11
  Speaker 5: being written. Our closing scripture is Philippians three thirteen to fourteen. Brethren,
• 22:24
  Speaker 5: I count myself to have apprehended, But this one thing
• 22:29
  Speaker 5: I do forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching
• 22:35
  Speaker 5: fourth unto those things which yore before, I press towards
• 22:42
  Speaker 5: the mark for the price of the high calling of
• 22:47
  Speaker 5: God in Christ Jesus. Paul wasn't suggesting we forget people
• 22:53
  Speaker 5: we love. Rather, he reminds us not to let the
• 22:58
  Speaker 5: past prevent us from moving forward and the purpose that
• 23:04
  Speaker 5: God has for us. Dear heavenly Father and the presious
• 23:16
  Speaker 5: name of your son, Jesus. Thank you for walking with
• 23:21
  Speaker 5: us through every stage of brief. You know the burdens
• 23:28
  Speaker 5: we carry and the questions that remain unanswered. Help us
• 23:33
  Speaker 5: release the weight of false gif regretting dless if only thinking.
• 23:41
  Speaker 5: Remind us that you are near to the broken hearted
• 23:44
  Speaker 5: and that your grace is sufficient for every season. Give
• 23:49
  Speaker 5: us the courage to trust you with what we cannot change,
• 23:57
  Speaker 5: in the strength to embrace the life you still have
• 24:01
  Speaker 5: for us. May your peace God our hearts and minds
• 24:06
  Speaker 5: as we continue this journey of healing. And if you
• 24:11
  Speaker 5: don't know the Man that walks beside you in every
• 24:15
  Speaker 5: season of your life, I invite you to get to
• 24:20
  Speaker 5: know him. To accept Jesus Christ as your savior and
• 24:26
  Speaker 5: acknowledge that He died on the cross for your sins.
• 24:30
  Speaker 5: That there's nothing that you have done that is so
• 24:34
  Speaker 5: bad that God can't forgive you. And if you've done that,
• 24:38
  Speaker 5: on today you find yourself a Bible, believe in church,
• 24:42
  Speaker 5: and grow in the grace and love of God and
• 24:46
  Speaker 5: watch His manifestations be fulfilled in your life. And if
• 24:52
  Speaker 5: you know God and you've been through the storm and
• 24:56
  Speaker 5: the rain, but you held on to that. Faith was
• 25:00
  Speaker 5: the clue that kept you together. Keep on dealing, keep
• 25:05
  Speaker 5: on believing in God, keep on healing. God. I asked
• 25:08
  Speaker 5: you that you continue to touch the visionary of this platform,
• 25:17
  Speaker 5: touch her from her head to a toe and anything
• 25:21
  Speaker 5: in between. God, you made her body and you can
• 25:24
  Speaker 5: fix it. God, in the name of Jesus, remember of
• 25:28
  Speaker 5: the Crew podcast. You know the things that we are
• 25:32
  Speaker 5: in need of. God. We asked that you send it
• 25:34
  Speaker 5: from the north to south, to east and the west God,
• 25:38
  Speaker 5: as we leave this platform, but never from your presence. God,
