Reliving a time of devastating loss brings back the
pain and grief and suffering. Reliving also brings healing and It also brings
to light the blessings received, the lessons learned and the ability of the
human spirit (along with the Holy Spirit) to let go and move on to new
beginnings.
God can
use our pain and suffering for good. Jesus is the perfect example of the
suffering servant, willing to give up His life for a much greater good. Jesus takes
us where we are, comforts us, teaches us and finally lifts us up again from our
pain. Miraculously, we can pass along His love to others going through similar
suffering. We hear one story after another of tragedy bringing hope and
opportunity to others.
Peace
be to the God and Father of our Lord, Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion
and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can
comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from
God. 2 Corinthians 1:3-4
Dear Father in heaven,
Our comfort and compassion come from You. Comfort
those who grieve, those in crisis, those in sickness or anxiety, those in
despair. We don’t understand all that happens to us in this fallen world. We do
understand Your love. Allow us to show the compassion and comfort You have
given us to others.
In Jesus name,
Amen
