Grief
Lord,
How can it be that I have suddenly lost another friend. A friend that leaves behind four children to reel in her absence. Rush to their side Lord. Use us- your children to show them the real love of Christ. You have taught me so many things this year. You have proven yourself to me everyday this year even throughout all my struggles. I have questioned your goodness at times and in turn you have shown me your sovereinty and providence. I sought you and felt that I would never find you but I was only doing things my way. Then I stopped and listened and followed your path instead of my own and there You were. Lord hold me and my family, and my friends through this most trying of times. Give us strength and discernment. Send down your peace in a way that everyone recognizes it is straight from You. Lord, I am so sure of how you have worked in my life and within my family-that I know when others encounter you in this way they will need not, they will want not, and they will search no more. Lord, give us all the eyes of Jesus to see the needs of others and meet those needs in the manner that you desire of us. Amen.
Lord, I was sure by now
That You would have reached down
And wiped our tears away, stepped in and saved the day
But once again, I say, Amen and it's still raining...
As the thunder rolls
I barely hear Your whisper through the rain, "I'm with you"
And as Your mercy falls
I raise my hands
And praise the God who gives and takes away
And I'll praise You in this storm
and I will lift my hands
For You are who You are
no matter where I am
And every tear I've cried
You hold in Your hand
You never left my side
and though my heart is torn
I will praise You in this storm
I remember when I stumbled in the wind
You heard my cry, You raised me up again
But my strength is almost gone
How can I carry on if I can't find You
As the thunder rolls
I barely hear Your whisper through the rain, "I'm with you"
And as You mercy falls I raise my hands
And praise the God who gives and takes away
And I'll praise You in this storm
and I will lift my hands
For You are who You are
no matter where I am
And every tear I've cried
You hold in Your hand
You never left my side
and though my heart is torn
I will praise You in this storm
I lift my eyes unto the hills
Where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord
The Maker of Heaven and Earth
I lift my eyes unto the hills
Where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord
The Maker of Heaven and Earth
And I'll praise You in this storm
and I will lift my hands
For You are who You are
no matter where I am
And every tear I've cried
You hold in Your hand
You never left my side
and though my heart is torn
I will praise You in this storm!
Lord, thank you for letting me meet Lesley and love her for the short time we were here on earth together. It is the desire of my heart to see her smiling face beside you when my life is over here. Give her peace and rest from the hard life she faced while on this earth. Please allow her to know the love and admiration that I have for her and that I will help to take care of her babies to the best of my ability until I draw my final breath. Thank you for the promises of comfort and refuge contained in your word to ease my pain and fear. In your son's most holy name- Amen.

John 14:26-27 But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you.

Lamentations 3:22-23 (KJV) It is of the LORD’s mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.
