Heavy Heart

[needingprayers]

Daddy,

I can't sleep. I am so heartbroken over the horrific passing of our stray cat. I know that I didn't know him/her, but I often looked at it from our kitchen window. I know that I didn't know him/her, but every night I made sure to put food and water out for it. I never got the chance to coax him/her into letting me hold it, but I was building up the courage to. I made him/her straw bedding inside of a box for these cold months, and I prayed for its safety nightly. I prayed for its safety nightly. It killed me today to find out that it had been hit by a car.  I feel angry about the situation, and I know that You have a reason for everything, but I don't understand the reason for this. It seems so cruel. Please, let animals go to Heaven. Why make a creation so beautiful just to have it die without any chance of meeting You? I am broken. I pray to You that the cat that passed isn't our stray cat, but deep inside... I know that it is. I can't stand witnessing animals die. It breaks me into a million pieces, and I just want some peace of mind. I think I'd always have some sort of comfort knowing that animals will have another life in Heaven... even if it is their own Heaven. I'm so troubled. Please, Daddy, give me comfort in any way that You can. I am sorry that I am angry, but I don't understand why these situations happen. I just pray that I see our stray eating our house cat's food that is outside. I know that I used to get frustrated with having to refill the food bowl constantly, but I'd gladly do it every day all over again if it helps feed an animal that is starving. 

Please, God, heal my aching heart. Please, let me know the reason why.

I love you, and I am sorry that I am so angry. Thank You for everything that You have given me, and I promise I'll treasure everything that I have more.

Amen.

God please comfort this kind heart. I recently had this happen too with a dog of someone I didn't know but prayed and the worst happened. I felt as you did but know God understands our hurt and all your feelings are OK to feel. I don't know what else to say other than continue to be kind but guard your heart and ask God to speak to your hurts. He understands and we don't really have a grasp of our own understanding. I pray that God will strengthen you. I understand your hurt.
