God is our Comforter

Matthew 6 Comfort & Wisdom  

There are times in our lives when we need to stop what we are doing and just ask the Lord how to comfort others. This chapter guides us through that grieving process as we recall the Lord’s Prayer which is one our Savior gave his disciples when they asked how to pray. 

Our Father which art in heaven. He knows all and is aware of the grief our friends are facing. 

Thy kingdom come is the desired outcome of anyone who seeks God and seeks His place.  

Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. As we echo these words, may our hearts seek comfort for those who have lost a loved one.  

Give us our daily bread which is needful when we are grieving. Sustaining one’s health is critical, and we can offer sustenance to the grieving people. 

Forgive us our debts/trespasses as we forgive others. The remaining family needs this reminder because often we feel guilt over the one who committed suicide. 

And lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil: for thine is the kingdom and the glory forever. Those who have remained after are tempted to try to understand this death, but God wants us to trust Him and leave the results to Him. 

Today stop and pray for those who are facing this path and pray for God’s comfort.
