Alexa PenaVega shares how God wept with and comforted her during a season of loss and immense pain. The actress who went through one of the most painful experiences imaginable mentioned how the Lord was with her through it all. Watch the short video to hear how God grieves and comforts His children when they are hurting.

Being a parent is one of life’s biggest blessings. There is nothing like welcoming a new bundle of joy into the world. Children add so much joy, happiness, and love to every household. Because children are such precious gifts from the Lord, losing one can and does result in immense pain, grief and sorrow.

In a clip posted on YouTube, Alexa recalls the painful, horrible experience of losing her baby girl, Indy, soon after the child was born. She mentions that two minutes before the child was delivered, there was a heartbeat. Sadly, soon after that precious baby girl was born, she passed away.

Following the loss of her child, Alexa states how the Lord was with her, provided her comfort and healing, and how she even witnessed Him grieving with and for her. She said that soon after losing Indy, Alexa, even though she was still hurting and suffering, felt an incredible and inexplicable peace.

During the healing process, Alexa was in a therapy session when she received a vision, a scene from the Lord.

“And I closed my eyes, and the Lord gave me this insane vision,” she said. “I was laying in the bed, and Indy was next to me, and they were trying to resuscitate her. The room was filled with angels around every single person in the room. But Indy was in God’s arms, but she was alive in His arms. Even though she was no longer living next to me, she was alive in His arms. But God was weeping. All the angels were weeping. They weren’t like, ‘It’s OK, we have her. She’s safe.’ They were weeping for us, and it gave me a whole new perspective of God, of where when we weep, He weeps because He’s heartbroken for his children. Even though He knew she was fully alive with Him and great and happy, He wept for us. And I felt so seen in that moment.”

Later in the clip, she added that God hurts when we hurt and go through difficult situations.

“In our heaviest moments, in our darkest moments where we truly just feel gutted, know He is weeping for you,” she said. “Sometimes you just want somebody to cry with, and He is, He’s doing that. And I don’t know how to explain it. I wish I had better words for it, but He wept with me, and it really helped. It helped me feel seen.”

Psalm 34:18 “The Lord is near the brokenhearted; he is the savior of those whose spirits are crushed down.”
