“Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. “ Matthew 5:4

God knows our hearts. He wraps His Spirit of strength around those who weep. In moments to draw us closer than before, He helps us remember He knows our EVERY need. He sees inside the wounds of pain and reminds us His love is eternal.

We will all experience grief at some time in our lives and feel the weight of human sadness. But, Jesus will lift the load we bare. He will pick us up, hold us close and pour peace where we will find strength to endure. He will help us remember how it feels to be held. And, He will help us find comfort while we’re cradled in His care. He will remind us why love bears ALL things.

Christ will comfort us. He will prepare us to faithfully trust in His power to save. He will guide us where we experience the love of mercy and grace. He will remind us of His sacrifice, so we will not forget; the trip we live will lead us to the Father.

Dear God, Thank you for the many times You have rescued us. Help us learn to recognize we are being carried, when times are difficult and we cannot walk on our own. We will trust You all of our days and celebrate the lives of those who have earned their heavenly reward. Amen

~ Praying for the many who have lost loved ones. May God bring peace, comfort, hope and strength to each one of them.
