Lord,
There are so many things I desire to know and understand in this life. Death brings about many questions without answers.
You are a mysterious God, and you have taught me that walking by faith sometimes doesn’t involve sight. As I wrestle with answers to the questions I have regarding the death of my loved one, the circumstances surrounding his passing, or the unknown of the future, please hold me close.
Wrestling is good because it works out my salvation, secures my convictions, and grows my intimate relationship with you.
As a widowed mom with questions for my children, I know the journey takes T.I.M.E – Trusting In the Mystery of Eternity. Give me grace to encourage my children to walk by faith and not by sight, even as I do the same.
Protect me during this time of grief. Send comforters to speak truth in love to me. Help me to look to your word for wisdom and counsel. Most of all, Holy Spirit, allow me to rest in your sovereignty. Let me trust in your attributes, your character, and who you are — good, kind, loving, merciful, and forgiving. Your ways are higher than mine.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
