Prayer request by Esther Lawson, I have a prayer request. My friends and next door neighbors lost their 17 month old daughter, Rebecca, unexpectedly yesterday. They are wonderful parents and have two other daughters. Please, lift their family up in prayer. The loss is devastating. They need strength from above. Love you!! Emanuel (God is with us) Father Jehovah God Almighty, bring comfort and peace. Peace is your essence. Peace is your Name. Bring peace to this family who has lost their precious child in death. We come to you, God because we know that you sorrow, and are acquainted with grief. You too have endured the loss of a child. You empathize. We are human and sometimes can’t help but ask, “Why?” Forgive our insistence, our confusion, even sometimes our anger. We believe that you are just, and we ache to understand how this tragic death is an expression of that justice, how it expresses your love. We also know – in our minds at least – that you seldom answer the “why?” question. We press you, but on these matters you are mostly silent. What we ask instead is “how?” How can we help this family move forward? How can this bring this family closer together and not tear them apart? How can we now help this family live under the shadow of this untimely death? Answer this prayer with your comfort and guidance. There is no way to remove the pain. The grief is real. 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 good. We trust you and your promise that while this child’s life on earth is done, her life beyond has just begun. May they release her and let her go into your arms, then by faith receive in return the boundless comfort of your presence. This is our prayer, in Jesus Name, Amen.
