This week one my my good friends lost her son. It has been a struggle to watch her in pain. The battle she faces will have many turns and will take so much time to overcome. All I can do is pray.
Dear heavenly father today I ask that you make your presence known to her. Lord please help her hear your voice over her own sobs, help her see you beyond her tears. Please come and wrap your arms around her and whisper that you are near. Flood her mind with only soothing memories of her beautiful son. Let her see only his contagious smile and his ocean blue eyes. Lord let her hear his voice and smell the fragrance of his soft skin. Please Father rock her softy at night so that she may sleep. Help her to find the strength to open her mouth and poor nourishment into her weak body. Put people in her path that will lift her up, ones that can sooth her. Lord I beg you to help all that come in contact with her slowly piece together her shattered heart. I ask that you help me be the friend that I need to be, help me show her light in the dark days that may turn into weeks, months, and maybe years. Lord help her to see that she is safe to morn, that she does not need to put a mask on to protect herself. That she can be free to kick, scream, run and throw things if needed. Help her lips to say that she is hurting. Lord hold her, let her feel you. Amen.
