We are truly saddened to hear of the passing of both Loretta and Joe. During this time of mourning, we stand with you in prayer, seeking God's comfort and peace.
Firstly, we want to remind you of the hope that we have in Jesus Christ. It is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to God. Also, there is no other name by which we can be saved. In fact, the Bible tells us, For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus 1 Timothy 2:5 WEB. Only those who confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised him from the dead that person will be saved Romans 10:9 WEB. Be assured God is close to the brokenhearted, he wants to be your comfort and strength. He said, Peace I leave with you. My peace I give to you; not as the world gives, give I to you. Don't let your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid John 14:27 WEB.
In your grief, cling to the promises of God. He does not want us to be ignorant concerning those who have fallen asleep, that you should not grieve like the rest, who have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep in Jesus 1 Thessalonians 4:13-14 WEB. This is a reminder that for believers, death is not the end but a transition into eternal life with Christ.
Pray with us:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You, lifting up Azuthelmen in their time of loss. We pray for Your comfort and peace to envelop them as they mourn the passing of Loretta and Joe. Help them to cast all their cares on You, knowing that You care for them 1 Peter 5:7 WEB.
Lord, we also pray for the families and friends affected by these losses. May they find solace in Your presence and hope in Your promises. Help them to remember that even in the darkest times. May they take heart in knowing You are with them.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Be encouraged by the words of Jesus Himself: I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will still live, even if he dies John 11:25 WEB. Trust in God's unfailing love and His plan for eternal life through Jesus Christ.
