** And so the flood begins....

[K-J]

Prayer family - today I come and ask you to pray for peace and a calm spirit within me. It was one year ago today that I received "the call" from my mother's hospice, telling us if we wanted to see her again to come soon. After getting things in order, we embarked on an all night drive and arrived in time to spend her last four hours of life with her. It will be one year since she died on Saturday. As thankful as I am that I know my mother was saved, and as sure as I am that she is spending eternity with God, Jesus and her treasured loved ones, I have felt this raw emotion building over the course of the week, today overflowing with much sadness and many tears. I just miss her tender spirit so much. I do have joy in knowing that soon we will all be together once again, but today am just feeling so alone. Thank you for all of the prayers over the past year. I can say with complete honesty that I never would have made it this far without you. God bless you, each and every one.

Our Heavenly Father, there is so much comfort in knowing a loved one is safe in Your arms, and that they are not only waiting for us, but cheering us on, but it feels so lonely at times without them here by our side. We rejoice in their salvation, and praise You for that, but sometimes it is the little things we used to do with them that cause the greatest pain. There isn't hardly a day that goes by that I think I'll call mom tonight and tell her about something that happened or something one of the kids did, and then the realization comes of no I can't do that anymore. I lift this sister of mine to the foot of Your throne, and ask for Your peace to flow into her life. Father, I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that she rejoices in her mother being there in heaven with You, it's just that it leaves a void in our lives, and a sadness in our souls. Father, I also praise You for the love that she had between her mother and herself, as hard as it is to lose someone you love, the pain we feel is in proportion to the love we shared. Thank You for that love, it truly is a gift from You. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen.

Lord Jesus, I reach out to my sister, K-J. I hold her hand and sit with her. I cry with her because I know how special her mom is and was and how tight a bond they held for each other. Even knowing she is with you, the heart is raw and so full of emotion and remembrence. We always want to turn back the clock and have more time with our loved ones. I lost my dad 12 years ago and it was like yesterday to me. I know K-J feels her loss the same. I pray you would surround your loving arms around her. Let her sit with her head on your shoulder and stroke her, Lord. Let her feel your gentle presence. There is a time for every purpose under heaven. There's a time to mourn....

we thank you, Lord, for emotions. We thank you that we still have them, that we can have care and concern for our family, friends and loved ones, even for those we don't know. Give her an extra ounce of peace today. Fill her heart to overflowing with your love and joy. I just want to sit here and be with K-J and let her know that I understand.

I don't have the right words to make it better but I am here and I am a good listener.

Thank you Lord for this mighty warrior. I pray for mercy and grace. To you be all glory and honor and praise. We magnify your holy name. We adore you, Lord. Sit with us awhile and let K-J lean on you. Thank you, Jesus. Thank you. I feel your sweet presence in the silence. I thank you for the impact K-J's mom had on her, the influence of a godly mother. May you bless K-J as she grieves. Draw her close. Amen

Dear Precious Father,

I agree wholeheartedly with these prayers for dear K-J. Especially this one! Took the words right out of my mind. Carry K-J! Comfort her as only You can. Help her know there is no shame in crying. It speaks to the powerful impact and place her mom had in her life, and K-J is human, she misses that precious fellowship. Lord, wrap K-J in Your arms this week and just let her see Your love and compassion for her hurting heart, all around her in a multitude of ways! In Jesus' name, Amen.
