Father God,
Author of Creation
Source and goal of our souls,
Hear our prayer for 50sDad, his pastor, and all their circle who loved those childen.
Gather Your sheep into Your loving arms, Father God.
This sinful world has wounded their hearts and has rocked their community.
We pray for the lost, and we pray for the found in You.
Even when they are blinded by pain and even if they cannot see or feel it, Your love and healing are already pouring out around and upon them.
We claim for them a deep awareness of Your presence and Your peace that passes understanding.
We pray for greater, deeper and higher understanding of Your Way in all of their lives.
You are God! You can work even through the evils of flawed sinners in this fallen world to bring about new blessings.
Be with them through the trials ahead, the funeral, the legal proceedings, the struggle for acceptance, the grief, the loss, the unthinkability of forgiveness, the desperate swim upstream against this overwhelming flood.
Deepen their faith, that You still have a purpose for all of them and a plan for them to thrive again; that one day they will reach dry land.
You Are their rescuer, Lord. Their strength and transformation is already in Your heart.
May any who are lost find hope in You.
We pray this in the Name of their Savior, Your Son Jesus Christ.
Amen.
Dear Lord! I don’t know where or how but I do pray this family finds comfort in their faith to get them through this loss.
FATHER GOD,
May Your love, rest, and peace be felt in the midst of tragedy. Comfort the family and community at this time.
In JESUS’ Name we pray. Amen.
Oh, my. Prayers sent.
Praying with you! I can’t even imagine.
Praying now.
I know this hurts so deep, and will keep on hurting. May God’s peace -— which is beyond all understanding -— be upon all His beloved, living and dead.
Prayers.
Teen aged, and the kids of my pastor’s wife’s sister.

It Is Well With My Soul: The Story Behind the Hymn - Horatio Spafford
Amazing story of a man who went thru something very similar....and authored a well beloved Hymn.
PRAYERS UP, KNOW THE PAIN, STILL LIVE THE PAIN.
It doesn't take words as God knows our hearts and how they break for this family....
Pinging the prayer warriors!
Or to deal with the loss of a child, too.
There really ARE no words…..
May all involved feel the Presence of our Lord God through the unbelievable pain of this tragedy.
Heart shattering
Wow. I couldn’t imagine the grief, pray I never do. God be with them and give them understanding.
Oh my!! That is so tragic!!
Praying for those parents and family.
Those dear children were ushered into the very Presence of God Himself.
But the pain and anguish are what is left the family here.
May God comfort their hearts.
Prayers for the family on this terrible loss. RIP.
Notre Père qui es aux cieux,
Que ton Nom soit sanctifié, que ton règne vienne,
Que ta volonté soit faite sur la terre comme au ciel.
Donne-nous aujourd'hui notre pain de ce jour.
Pardonne-nous nos offenses, comme nous pardonnons aussi à ceux qui nous ont offensès.
Et ne nous soumets pas à la tentation, mais délivre-nous du mal.
Car c'est à Toi qu'appartiennent le règne, la puissance et la gloire,
pour les siècles des siècles. Amen
Je vous salue, Marie, pleine de grâces,
le Seigneur est avec vous, vous êtes bènie entre toutes les femmes,
et Jésus le fruit de vos entrailles est béni.
Sainte Marie, Mère de Dieu, priez pour nous pauvres pécheurs,
maintenant, et à l'heure de notre mort. Ainsi-soit-il.
Garde la Foi, mes amis! Nous nous sommes les sauveurs de la République! Maintenant et Toujours!
(Keep the Faith, my friends! We are the saviors of the Republic! Now and Forever!)
