Untitled Sermon (2)

We are saddened by Barrbra's death but appreciate her life. We commit her memory to our hearts for the rest of our days: earth to earth, ashes to ashes, dust to dust.

‌

Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, to God who alone is wise, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen (1 Tim. 1:17).

O God, who can only comfort the family in this time. You and You alone know our broken hearts; You know the grief we experience. This has been a mommnet in time we have ask so many question and have tried to make sense, Father help us help the family have been times when we have cried out, “Why me?” We are filled with questions. We do not have the answers, so we come to You. Teach us to trust You, steady our faith so that in this darkness we may see Your light.

O God, grant that in all our grief we may turn to You. Grant us the peace of Your consolation and the joy of Your love. We ask this through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.[1]
