Praying for a good friend

Dear Lord Jesus,

                Tonight we lift up a good friend’s family to You.  This family we’re praying for is suffering through the loss of their dad and they are also trying to straighten out the estate that he left behind.  We ask that You guide them through this time of grieving and give them peace over every decision they are faced with, both over estate issues and otherwise.  We pray that You grant Your peace and comfort to this family as they heal from this loss.  Comfort them with the knowledge that everything will be made right and every tear You will wipe away one glorious day in Heaven.  Help them smile with every remembrance they have of their dad.  And let them rejoice over all the good times they had together.  We ask that You not only help this family draw closer through this loss, but that the members of this family would be drawn closer to You.  Those that already know You as Lord and Savior would deepen their relationship with You.  And those that may not yet know You in this way would turn to You and call upon You for what may even be the first time.

                We love You, Lord!  Thank You for carrying us through these hard times.

Amen
