• 0:00
  Speaker 1: I am Sherry Mackie and his time for us to
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: go to God in prayer, and as always I ask
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: that you join along with me in prayer. Recently I
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: got the news that several of my friends have experienced
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: significant loss. So today I just want to pray for
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: those that are experiencing grief today, whether it's my friend
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: Craig who lost his mom, pat and the loss of toy,
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: or the angelic voices of Faith or author and a
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: niece Robinson. Now let's pray, Heavenly Father, in the name
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: of Jesus Christ. We come before you today with hearts
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: that are heavy, God, heavy with sorrow, with questions, and
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: with deep ache of loss. Lord, you are close to
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: the broken heart, and that's what you said in your word.
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: You said you save those who are Christian spirits. So God,
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: today we lean into your presence. Right now, God, we
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: lift up every husband morning his wife, every son mourning
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: the loss of his mother, every father grieving his child,
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: every daughter missing her mom, every friend who has had
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: to say goodbye too soon. God, you know their names,
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: you know their tears, and you know their silent cries
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: that words can't even express. God, you see the moments
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: when they smile for others. But God, they're broken and
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: hurting inside. You see the pillows staining with tears, the
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: empty chair at the table, and the memories that play
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: over and over and over again in their minds. Lord,
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: we pray and we ask for peace, not the peace
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: that the world gives, but the kind God that calms
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: the storm inside, even when the storm outside still rages. God,
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: wrap them in your loving arms and your comfort. God.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: Let them feel you near in the quiet moments and
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: the knights that feel endless, and in the mornings when
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: getting up feels impossible. God, we pray that you would
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: strengthen them moment by moment, give them grace for the
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: hard day's, courage for the lonely days, and hope for
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: the days ahead. Help them, God, not to rush their healing,
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: but to take step by step with you in this
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: healing process. Remind them that it's okay to cry, It's
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: okay God, to miss, It's okay God to remember and reflect,
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: and that they don't have to pretend to be strong
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: because You are strong for them and our weakness. God,
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: you are strong. Jesus, you wept at the tomb of
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: a friend. You know grief. You understand love loss. You
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: are not distant from our pain. You enter it with us.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: And because of you, God, death is not the end
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: for us. There's hope beyond the grave. There's life after
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: this life. So for those who mourn, and remind them
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: that love does not die. It lives on in the
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: legacy and the laughter and the stories, and most of
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: all God and each of us. God, we speak peace
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: over every grieving soul listening right now. God, I speak
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: rest to their weary hearts, and I speak hope that,
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: even in the valley of the Shadow, God, that they
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: are not alone.
