  Speaker 1: I am Sherry Mackie. It's time for us to go
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: to God in prayer, and as always, I invite you
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: to join along with me in prayer. Every year during
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: the Saint Jude Radiothon, I think about parents having to
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: deal with their sick children, and ultimately some parents who
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: lose their children, and then even beyond same Jude, let's
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: pray about that, y'all, Heavenly Father. Today we come before
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: you carrying a grief that words struggle to hold the
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: loss of a child. Lord, you see the parents whose
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: hearts feel shattered in ways they never imagine possible. You
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: see the empty bedroom, the quiet spaces where laughter once live,
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: the dreams that now feel unfinished. You see the questions.
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: You see the tears that fall in private. You see
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: the ache that settles deep within their souls. Father, this
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: kind of loss feels unbearable. No parent expects to say
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: goodbye to their child. No heart is prepared for the
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: silence that follow such a profound absence. Lord, in this
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: sacred and painful place, we ask for your presence to
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: draw near, wrap these grieving parents in your arms of
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: comfort when the waves of sorrow crash over them without warning,
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: be their steady place to stand when the knights feel
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: long and the memories feel overwhelming, Gods around them with
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: your peace that passes understanding. When their hearts feel too
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: heavy to pray, God, hear the cries that words cannot express. Lord,
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: we also lift up the family members who grieve alongside them.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: Be with the siblings God who missed their brother or
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: their sister. Comfort grandparents' uns, uncles, and loved ones whose
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: hearts are also broken. Help them support one another with
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: tenderness and patience and grace as they walk through this
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: valley together. Father, remind them that their child's life matter deeply.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: Every smile, every life, every moment shared with pressure, and
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: it was meaningful. Though their time here may have felt
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: too short, their life was not without purpose. Lord, hold
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: the memories of this child like treasures in the hearts
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: of those who love them. Let those memories bring both
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: tears and gentle moments of warmth as time moves forward.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: And Father, when grief whispers that the pain will never fease,
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: remind them that you are the God who walks with
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: us through the valley of the shadow of death. You
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: do not rush our healing, but you remain with us
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: in every step of the journey. God, give these fear
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: and strength for each new day, not all at once,
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: but moment by moment. When their faith feels fragile, God,
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: you carry them when their hearts feel exhausted, God you
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: sustain them. Surround them with people who will sit with
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: them in their sorrow, who will listen without trying to
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: fix what cannot be fixed, and who will love them
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: through every season of grief. Lord, we trust that you
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: are close to the broken heart and be their con
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: be their refuge, be their peace, And in the midst
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: of the deeposaurle God, hold them in the promise that
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: love never truly disappears. The bund they share with their
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: child will always remain part of their story, until the
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: day when every tear is wiped away. Carrie this family
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: and your mercy. Surround them with your presence and gently
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: lead them toward healing and Jesus' name.
