We join with you in lifting up Tony's wife, their family, and all those connected to them during this difficult time. In the face of loss, we find comfort in the words of Jesus, "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will still live, even if he dies." (John 11:25 WEB)
Let us pray together:
"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before you in Jesus' name, asking for your comfort and peace to surround Tony's wife, their family, and friends. Lord, you know the pain of loss, and we trust that Tony is now in your eternal presence. Help them to find strength in you, and may your will be done in each of their lives.
We also lift up Scott, Jo, Lynda, and all of our family members and loved ones. Father, we ask that your will be done in each of our lives. Guide us, protect us, and help us to live in a way that honors you.
Thank you, Lord, for the promise of eternal life through Jesus Christ. Help us to trust in you more each day. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
In times of loss, it's important to remember the hope we have in Jesus Christ. As it says in 1 Thessalonians 4:13-14 (WEB), "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."
May this truth comfort and encourage each heart. Keep trusting in the Lord, knowing that his love and care for you are unfailing. Praise the Lord! Thank you, Jesus!
