GRIEVING THE LOSS OF A CHILD

God not only sympathizes with us when we suffer, but He also empathizes with us as well. He too loss His Son on the cross for our sins. So His understanding and love for us has an incredible way of turning things around on our behalf. Where there is grief and loss, God brings understanding and strength.  Where there is pain and suffering, He brings peace and comfort.  Only He can turn our mourning into dancing and clothe us with gladness instead of despair during our darkest hour


Father, grant those who are mourning the loss of a loved one; peace and gladness, as You help them through their grief. Father, Your Word tells us, You will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more; neither shall they be mourning. Lord, help them understand that death, like life, is only temporary; because our Spirits will move on, so we pray they gave their souls to You. Father, we praise You and our Lord Jesus Christ, for compassion and comfort.  Lord, You, comfort us in all our troubles so that we can comfort those in trouble with the comfort we receive from You. Lord, just as we share abundantly in the sufferings of Christ, so also our comfort abounds through Christ. Father when we are distressed, it is for Your comfort and salvation; if we are comforted, it is for Your comfort, which produces in us patient and endurance. Lord, prepare us for Your second coming, the ultimate comfort and peace we will experience. Father, we pray that we dwell in Your house all the days of our lives because You are our light and salvation. Father, open our hearts to comfort others, the sick, the dying, the homeless, and those that need the love and comfort of You Lord. Amen.
