Pray for a Grieving Family

Lord, We Lift Our Hearts To You And Ask That You Comfort And Bless This Grieving Family. Amen.

- Reverend Dr. Rocky Brown

A friend in my hometown was once really going through a difficult time in her life. She had lost her son because he was caught in the crossfire of a shooting and died.

Then, on the day of her son's repast, his four-year-old son, her grandson, was hit by a truck and died.

This mother, these grandparents, these relatives, this family, had been shaken to the core.

I'm sure their faith was shattered; their hearts were beyond broken, and their trust in God was on the brink. What can we do as humans to make them feel less pain and better? How do we minister to them? What should we do? What should we say? When and how shall we say it?

The old Saints would say that God puts on us no more than we can bear; but try to explain this to the family.

They say everything works together for our good, but try to explain this to the family.
