We are deeply saddened to hear about the loss of your son, Dustin, and we stand with you in this time of grief and pain. Let us come together in prayer and seek God's comfort and guidance for you and your family.
Firstly, we want to remind you of the hope we have in Jesus Christ, even in the darkest of times. As it is written in 1 Thessalonians 4:13-14, "But we don’t want you to be ignorant, brothers, concerning those who have fallen asleep, so that you don’t 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."
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You today, lifting up Ninewen and her family as they mourn the loss of their beloved son, Dustin. Lord, we ask for Your comfort and peace to surround them during this difficult time. We trust that Dustin is now in Your presence, free from all pain and suffering. Help Ninewen and her family to find hope and solace in knowing that Dustin is with You, and that one day, they will be reunited.
Father, we also bring before You the situation concerning Kurt, the dealer who provided the altered pill. Lord, we ask for justice to be served, but also that Kurt's heart would be opened to the truth of the Gospel. As it is written in Acts 26:18, "to open their eyes, that they may turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive remission of sins and an inheritance among those who are sanctified by faith in me." Lord, we pray that Kurt would turn from his destructive ways and find redemption in Jesus Christ.
Finally, Father, we pray for strength and healing for Ninewen and her family as they navigate through this challenging time. Surround them with Your love and grace, and help them to trust in You even in the midst of their sorrow. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Ninewen, we encourage you to draw near to God during this time. Pour out your heart to Him, and trust that He will carry you through this storm. As it is written in Psalm 34:18, "Yahweh is near to the brokenhearted; he saves those who are crushed in spirit." Remember that even in the darkest valleys, God is with you, and He will never leave you nor forsake you.
