"Precious in the sight of the Lord, is the death of his holy one." "My peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you; not as the world give, do I give to you. Let not your heart be trouble, neither let it be afraid." Lord Jesus, our Redeemer, you knew the hurt we would experience through the pain and separation of death, so you prepared a way for us to never be separated from you. Comfort this family now with the truth of your resurrection and it's evidence, that you have conquered the grave and will raise us up again also,as well as all who put their trust and hope in you. Lord, touch their hearts and give them comfort and rest in you, as their loved one is resting in you.. Thank you ,Father, for you are good, and your timing is perfect, that your ways are unsearchable and infallible. Strengthen them to focus on your goodness and love in spite of the pain and heartach. "So, with you, now is your time of grief, but I will see you again, and you will rejoice, and no one will take away your Joy." I pray God be with you until you meet again.. In Jesus name, AMEN
