A PRAYER FOR MY SON

 Lord, we thank You for the years, we spent with my son; and the love, laughter, and joy he brought to our lives.  Thank, you, Lord, for giving him a heart of compassion, and for him always being there for when we needed him; thank You for helping me raise a wonderful son, father, brother, cousin, and friend, we will all miss you dearly. Often time Lord, we know Your goodness comes disguised as pain and sorrow; and we know, You are the architect who can build temples out of rubble and adversity.  Father, right now our souls are ripped with anguish, so please create a better tomorrow from the pain and suffering of our loss. “God, bring comfort and peace to my son wife, children, and grandchildren because You understand the pain and sorrow that comes with the loss of a child. We won't ask, why, and please forgive our insistence, our confusion, even our anger.  Lord, but,  we do ask how we can move forward? How can this bring us together and not tear us apart? How can we now live under the shadow of this untimely death? Answer this prayer with Your comfort and guidance.  Father, there is no way to remove the pain, the grief in our hearts; the only sanity is to know, to believe, in a life beyond with You when all the scales are righted, and the sufferings are made right. We trust You and Your promise that while my child’s life on earth is done, his life beyond has just begun, with You. Father, today we give his body to the earth and thank You for receiving his Soul.  In Jesus name Amen
