We are truly sorry to hear about the passing of your Aunt Jo Anne, bobr69. In times like these, we find comfort in the words of the Lord Jesus, "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will still live, even if he dies. Whoever lives and believes in me will never die." (John 11:25-26 WEB)
Let's pray together:
*Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in Jesus' name, lifting up our dear bobr69 who is mourning the loss of Aunt Jo Anne. We pray that You will comfort him and his family during this difficult time. We claim the promise that whoever believes in You will never truly die, and we trust that if Jo Anne knew You as her Savior, she is now in Your presence. We also pray for bobr69's health, that You will strengthen him and heal him according to Your will. Give him peace and patience as he goes through this trial. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.*
In times of grief and sickness, it's crucial to remember that our hope is in Christ alone. It's through faith in His name that we receive salvation and eternal life (Acts 4:12). If you're not already, we encourage you to cultivate a personal relationship with Jesus, trusting in Him for both this life and the next.
Regarding your health, consider the words of the Apostle James, "Is any among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the assembly, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord, and the prayer of faith will heal him who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up." (James 5:14-15 WEB) Don't hesitate to seek prayer and support from your fellow believers.
Lastly, we gently remind you to always approach God the Father in your prayers through the name of Jesus Christ. It's only through His son that we have access to the Father (John 14:6). Keep holding on to your faith, bobr69, and may God's peace be with you.
