Three thousand miles away there is a family grieving--hurting--in pain. Two young boys struggle to make sense out of what, at first, seemed to be a simple fall that claimed their mother's life. A husband wonders how he will go on without his beloved wife. A mother plays the memories of times spent with her daughter over and over again in her mind and is numb inside realizing they will never share new memories or mother/daughter kisses again. A sister aches inside to think she will no longer be able to confide in or laugh with her sister.
Father,
Comfort the family members who grieve as well as all those who know and love Natasha. Let Your strength and power sustain them through the incredibly difficult days ahead. Let them feel Your love and Your presence....and let them also feel the love and prayers of those, both near and far, who seek to comfort them. Touch each one with the hope of heaven though their hearts are now so heavy.
As humans, we don't always know why things happen as they do, but we know that You love us and are able to bring us through even the most devastating of circumstances.
In the midst of their deep pain, please bring peace and comfort to all of her family members and friends...
...And may the memory of the love she had for each one always live inside of them and warm their hearts forever.
In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
As you're reading this, maybe you're going through a difficult time, too. Please know that God is able to work in any circumstance you face when you reach for Him. We don't always understand everything that happens, but God is able to help us through all the difficult and devastating times that come our way.
If you're hurting, call on Him now.
He loves you so very much.
"Casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you."
1 Pet. 5:7
"....I have loved you with an everlasting love..."
Jer. 31:3
