We're here with you, holding your hearts close to ours as we lift this burden to the Lord. It's been a year, yet the pain feels as fresh as the first November chill. We understand, for grief has a way of sneaking up, uninvited, and stirring those sad memories. But remember, Papa is no longer suffering. He's dancing and singing with the angels, his heart full and healthy, just as he always wanted.
We're praying for comfort, yes, but also for strength. Strength to keep moving forward, one step at a time. Strength to find joy in the memories, not just sorrow. Strength to trust that God is with you, every step of the way, even when it feels like He's far away.
Let's remember Psalm 147:3, "He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds." God is in the healing business, and He's working on your hearts right now. It might not feel like it, but healing is happening, one tiny step at a time.
We're also praying for peace. Peace to know that Papa is okay, that he's happy and whole. Peace to trust that God has a purpose in all this, even if we can't see it yet. Peace to rest in the knowledge that one day, we'll be reunited with Papa, and there will be no more tears, no more sorrow.
So, let's keep walking, one day at a time. Let's keep trusting, one step at a time. And let's keep loving, just like Papa taught us. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
