Our Prayer of hope

Heavenly Father,
Because our hearts were crushed by losing our child, they are so, so tender.
We take every day one breath at a time, one step at a time, one tear at a time.
And we go on. How?
There is nothing fair about it. Wanting fairness leaves us helpless and hopeless,
this is where faith in you God steps in and steps up.
A line has been drawn in the sand. If we really believe what we say we believe,
that God loves us and Jesus died for us, then we go on.
We go on and allow the Holy Spirit to use our tenderest of hearts to love,
comfort and encourage others.
God, you are so good. When we respond through our weakness
we are loved, comforted and encouraged, as well.
The pain is real. Some days ambush grief strikes out of nowhere. Even so, we go on.
We praise God, heaven is so much closer now!
We pray this in the name of Jesus. Amen.
