A humble Prayer for the family...
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family, Kathy.
How very terrible for your family. Prayers to you and them, and may you meet him again someday on the other side.
I’m so sorry, I can’t even imagine.
Father God, I ask you to please richly bless everyone who loved Josh, and I ask you for the peace which passes all understanding. Please supply them with the best, richest comfort that your Holy Spirit can give.
Also, could you give them all a sign or a signal that Josh is having a great time? We know he is with you of course, but this would be such a wonderful comfort, especially for his heartbroken mom.
We ask you in Jesus’ name, and we thank you, Amen.
Jesus wept.
And our Lord Jesus and we weep with you! He makes us victorous even in and through death.
Kathy, I can’t imagine the pain.
Prayers up for you, and Joshua’s parents.
Praying that God gives you strength and grace in this time of sadness.
I’m so sorry. How painful and tragic this has been for all of you...
I have special, loving prayers for Joshua’s brother, Jake, (and any other bereaved siblings). Sibling grief is enormous and very often goes unrecognized and unaddressed.
Prayers and condolences to you on your loss. May he rest in peace.
God bless him, his parents and you. He is at a better place.
The room is in the Fathers heart. Come in and feel His love and comfort. Draw close to Him during these times.
Father I ask that your tender mercies flow through Katy's family. That your love is felt as this family gathers. May they feel the peace that passes all understanding and may they turn to you for comfort. Amen
So sorry for your loss. Heartbreaking.
Prayers for you and your family.
Christ our eternal King and God, You have destroyed death and the devil by Your Cross and have restored man to life by Your Resurrection; give rest, Lord, to the soul of Your servant Joshua who has fallen asleep, in Your Kingdom, where there is no pain, sorrow or suffering. In Your goodness and love for all men, pardon all the sins he has committed in thought word or deed, for there is no man or woman who lives and sins not, You only are without sin.
For You are the Resurrection, the Life, and Repose of Your servant Joshua, departed this life, O Christ our God; and to You do we send up glory with Your Eternal Father and Your All-holy, Good and Life-creating Spirit; both now and forever and to the ages of ages. Amen
I am so sorry, your family is in my pfayers.
Always a very sad time when a young one passes before his/her time. My prayers are with you.
You are not alone .
I am so very sorry for your loss. Praying for strength and comfort for your family.
Heavenly God,
Please reveal yourself, your hand, in Kathy and her family’s life. Let them see and feel your presence during a time that can only be seen as bleakness. Let that know that you use these sorrowful times to bring people to you;that they will seek answers so desperately that they will be left with only you and you are the only thing they need.
Your word says that ALL things, not somethings, work for good for those that love you, for those called according to your purpose. Pour out your grace and mercy on them all and let them see the blessings that will surely come from the loss of their beloved grandson and son.
Amen.
Kathy, I’ve prayed for Joshua and your family. My condolences.
Joshua has put up a very brave fight to come back to you. But, in God’s will, he is now with Jesus and feels no pain, no fear. None of what he went through will be forgotten by God. His reward will be great.
My deepest sympathy for you and your family.
I’m so very sorry, Kathy. I will pray for you and your family.
