Greetings
Prayer Warriors,
Connecting
with a friend recently, I sadly learned of the death her parent just 3 days after her Christmas visit. Later I watched a program profiling those
who had lost loved ones and children prematurely and how on every
birthday, Christmas, and significant date, they are reminded of their painful
loss. This led me to reflect on my own losses
and all of yours, and how easily one can fall into despair.
All
this may seem like a big downer, and yet while sad, we don't have to walk this path alone. The Lord wants to walk it with us! Prayer, simple, heartfelt conversation
with God, is what connects us to Him. We also become more connected with each other through loss, as the Lord seems to send us angels.
Let us offer up prayers for those who mourn, especially those who are paralyzed
by their grief.
Lord, we pray for an outpouring of grace on
all the brokenhearted, that you might sooth their souls. We pray especially those whose mourning is wrapped
in a vice-grip of anger which prevents their inner healing. May they hear your
gentle voice and open themselves to the Divine Comforter!
I
dwell in a high and holy place, but also with the contrite and lowly of spirit, to
revive the spirit of the lowly, to revive the heart of the crushed. Isaiah
57:15
All glory is yours Almighty Father. Amen!!
Peace,
Joy, and Love
Janet
Comfort
those in sorrow. Pass it on!
