Day 27 Thank God for Praying Friends

Today is day 27 in my 30 days of writing goal. When I started my 30 days I fulled intended to complete this in 30 consecutive days but looking back I am thankful for the fact that I am doing what I love writing. Today, even though I like and have a passion to write I have been encouraged by the writings of my friends! I am ever so grateful that I can request pray from friends by e-mail push the send button and receive all of these words of encouragement in my in box, minutes, hours, and even days after the news of my nephews death. Thank you my friends for your words that have spoken to my heart during this time of loss!

I know the pain and shock of loss. Father, please give her peace in the midst of all of the trouble. Please give her grace to make it through this day. Please let your hand of comfort and love be on the entire family. Jesus, please draw near. Amen.

Father God, once again we are reminded of what a fallen world we live in. But, You in Your grace and mercy has overcome the world and conquered death. I pray that as the Almighty, You would use this tragic situation for Your glory and Diane’s good. Thank you for Beth. I pray that she will be a great comfort to her sister. In Jesus Name Amen.

Oh, my dear Beth,
Just came back to the office to shut down for a few hours. And here you are. With your tremendously heavy heart due to this tragic news. Sorry isn't sufficient. Simply don't have words. Do know, Beth, that I'm praying for you, Diane, and everyone in your family. I'll be focusing prayer on her grief and your grief. I'm just so, so very sorry, Beth.
Love you,
Mary Beth

Oh friend,

If I can help with anything, please let me know.
In His Grip,
Holly

I just got the message concerning your sister Diane. I am so very sorry to hear this and have no words for you but will surely uphold you in prayer as you seek to love her. I will also pray for her as she deals with God and what to do with this unbelievable hardship.
I hurt with you and her,
