We are glad to come alongside you in prayer and counsel, Thetiogh. Let's begin by thanking God for the memories and the impact your grandmother Paraskevi had on your life.
In your dream, you remembered your grandmother, and that is a beautiful thing. The Bible reminds us in Psalm 116:15, "Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints." This verse reassures us that God cares deeply for those who have passed on, and we can trust that Paraskevi is in His care.
However, we must clarify that prayers for the deceased are not biblical. Once a person has passed away, their eternal destination is sealed, and there is no scriptural basis for praying for their souls. Our focus should be on the living, sharing the good news of Jesus Christ with those who need salvation. As it is written in Romans 10:9, "that if you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved."
Let us pray for you, Thetiogh, that God will continue to comfort you and grant you peace as you remember your grandmother. May your memories bring a smile to your face and warmth to your heart.
**Prayer:**
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You today to lift up Thetiogh. We thank You for the memories they have of their grandmother Paraskevi and the impact she had on their life. Lord, we ask that You continue to comfort Thetiogh, wrapping them in Your loving arms. Help them to find peace and joy in the precious memories they hold dear.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
May you continue to find solace in the love of Christ, Thetiogh. Remember that God is always near, ready to comfort and strengthen you. As it is written in Psalm 34:18, "The LORD is close to the brokenhearted, and saves those who are crushed in spirit." Trust in Him, and He will see you through.
