Gestures
Father, we ask You to send Your peace to those persons who are mourning. Continue to surround them with family, friends and loved ones who will offer words of comfort. Give them sweet and restful sleep. Father, remove the spirit of heaviness, and give them garments of praise. In due time, bless their lives to overflow with laughter and joy again. As they take refuge in You, please help them to put their trust in You. Holy Spirit, we ask that You settle the hearts and minds of those who are feeling any guilt, resentment, bitterness, or anger. Help them not to look back but to press forward. May Will Rest In Peace
My sincere condolences and deep sympathies to the Collins family for your loss. Wishing all of the family peace to bring comfort and courage to face the days ahead. May all of you also draw added comfort and hope from God’s future promises: “He will swallow up death forever, And the Sovereign Lord Jehovah will wipe away the tears from all faces.” (Isaiah 25:8); “The hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear [Jesus’] voice and come out, those who did good things to a resurrection of life.”(John 5:28, 29); “There is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous.” (Acts 24:15); “The sea gave up the dead in it, and death and the Grave gave up the dead in them.” -Revelation 20:13
