Heavenly Father, we return to give You thanks for the ministry of the Holy Spirit ... that immediately He brings comfort to a grieving heart. Minister greatly to Mike's family, O God, for they suddenly are without husband and father and brother and son. Surround them with the beauty of Your Presence and the love and prayers of family and friends. Gently lead them through the days ahead, for they have not traveled this road before. Bring to them words of assurance, for great is Your goodness and mercy, even in times when we see only heartache and grief. In the Name of Jesus, I pray, Amen ...
and Amen.
