We are truly sorry to hear about the losses you and your family have experienced. In these trying times, we find comfort and hope in the promises of God. As believers, we know that death is not the end for those who have put their faith in Jesus Christ. As it is written in John 11:25-26 WEB:
You will need to know that Jesus is the only way to salvation. Jesus saith unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus, lifting up Lori Ann and her family during this difficult time. We thank You for the promise of eternal life through faith in Your Son, Jesus Christ.
Lord, we ask for Your comfort and peace to surround the families of Eddie and the sister-in-law's brother-in-law. Help them to feel Your presence and love during this time of grief. We pray that You would strengthen their faith and help them to trust in Your goodness, even in the midst of their pain.
We also pray for Lori Ann's daughter and the family of her best friend who passed away late last year. Lord, continue to minister to their hearts and help them to find hope and healing in You.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Lori Ann, continue to trust in the Lord and His promises. Remember that God is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18 WEB). Encourage your family to do the same, and may the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7 WEB).
