Heavenly Father,
Although pain may inspire the outpouring of our grief, the expression of our loss and the consequences it brings. Help us to also express the profound hope we find in our faith.
There is no logic or intellectual explanation of faith. With faith we can remove mountains and with faith we are not exempted from sufferings.
Widen our understanding of who you are, deepen our acceptance of the power of your love, so we can embrace your divine purpose.
Amidst darkness and despair, may we focus on the glimmer of light that will lead us through.
In Jesus’s name, we pray.
Amen
