Sad Day

A great woman died last night after services. She will be terribly missed. Life can be devastating. But God, faith in Christ, and the hope He provides will get us through.

I said the closing prayer last night. My prayer was for us to take our frustrations and strife to Jesus. In times like these, that is what we must do.

Heavenly Father,

Help us to grieve. Help us to heal. Help us to look to You for answers. Help us to remember to cherish those good things that You provide. Help us to put away the loneliness, the bitterness, the hurt that the world employs to keep us away from Your Way.

Please be with the family of this great woman as we know she is with You. Be with her friends. Be with us. We know you are the one true living God, and we thank you so much for the forgiveness and hope you gave us in Jesus.

It is in His Name we pray,

Amen.
