Forever on my mind and in my heart, cici. Missing you terribly. Miss your random messages and pop ups....Laughing until our stomachs and cheeks hurt. Your infectious laugh and energy. Until we meet again xoxox
Lord, my hope is in you. Because of your tender mercies, I will not give up. Losing my child is losing my joy, my reason for living. And yet, your light shines in my heart, reminding me that my child’s spirit is resting with you, and we will be reunited when you return. Because of this, I will never give up, and I praise you for renewing my spirit day after day. I fix my gaze on you and on eternity. In God's name, I pray. Amen.
Loving Almighty God, grant me peace, for I am full of fear and anxiety. I rest in your warm embrace, for I know that you will never let me go. Cover me with your wings of love and grant my family and me the peace that surpasses all understanding during this trying moment as we mourn the loss of our child. Heal our broken hearts and bind our wounds. Remind us of your promises about heaven and eternity, for we know that our child is in your presence right now. Lord, help us to find a path of healing so that we can move on from our pain and continue serving you. In God's’ holy name, I believe and pray. Amen.
Lord, I don’t know why this happened to my family. Fill my empty heart with your love and peace. Help me to rise again and soar like eagles. Ease my pain and strengthen my relationship with you during this trying time. Quench my heart with your love and let your grace sustain me during this mourning period. Thank you for the time that you gave me with my sister Asiah. May you secure those memories in my mind till we meet again. In God’s loving name, I believe and pray. Amen.
