FOR EVERY PERSON WHO HAS LOSS A CHILD OR LOVED ONE

Father, we pray for every mother who has lost a child or loved one whether it was at war, a disease, sickness or a senseless killing on the streets; we pray for comfort and peace.  Lord, there is no pain like the loss of a loved one, so we thank You for helping us get through this, and we are thankful for all the love and support from family and friends. Father, we know You want us to be happy, despite the loss and heartbreak we are dealing with; so help us support each other, to help us find peace.  Father, we know with love and the reassurance You will provide, will help ease the pain in due time. Lord, we pray for justice to be served, to those who are responsible for, the crime against us and against Your command “thy shall not kill.”  Please Lord, stand up for the innocent lives, that were taken, as we stand on Your Word “that You will fight our battles and justice will be served.  Lord, some days are so difficult we feel as if we cannot go on because the loss we feel is so intense, it’s almost tangible to us.  Father, please remove the thoughts from our minds that we know are wrong, and give us Your strength and courage to forgive those who have wronged us by taking our loved ones.  Father, death is such an empty and draining feeling, so much so that we sometimes don’t want to be here anymore; so please fill us with Your Spirit, in these trying times.  Lord, we understand that we will never get over our loss, so please help us to live with it.  Lord, we know in due time we will be whole again, but we will never be the same; so help those around us understand.  Father, we ask that You keep Your hedge of protection around us and our children, in this lost dark world, in Jesus name, Amen
