What is seen is temporary,but what is unseen is eternal.

Though outwardly we are wasting away,yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day.For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary,but what is unseen is eternal.

——2 Corinthians 4:16-18 (New International Version)

Dearest Abba Father, You sacrificed Your son, Jesus Christ so that we would transcend physical death. You understand and empathize with our grief and heartaches and difficulties we go through. At this time we especially pray for those who lost their loved ones to untimely death. You know and understand grief . You know best how to comfort .We lift their hearts up to you. Fill them with your peace. Your understandings are beyond our human comprehension.Give them the knowledge and faith to endure even that which they can’t understand. Let them be aware of You always Yahweh, and help them to remember that Your Love is Life that can never really be taken away. Our souls are heavy and the life is really burdensome. We want to be comforted by You because nothing else can bring us peace and joy but Your grace. Give us Your grace to tough out these very hurting moments. .May Your Spirit, the Comforter, come upon us mighty. May You who establish peace in the heavens, grant peace to us. Hear us of Your mercy, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen
