The Grieving Dad You, Lord, keep my lamp burning: my God turns my darkness into light. Psalms 18:28 NIV
Lord, I pray You will comfort the father's heart that has lost a child. I pray that You will allow him to grieve, but don’t let the grief paralyze him each day of his life for years to come. Allow him to know that there is a time to mourn, and a time to dance. Allow him to be thankful for the time that You allowed the child to be here on Earth. Lord, I pray that he doesn’t suffer with guilt of things that may have been said or things that he did not say to their child prior to them passing. Give him peace in his heart and surround him with Your comfort. Let the Dad know to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. Allow the Dad to weep and not be considered weak. Lord, I pray that he will not be so angry with You that he will not worship You. Lord, I pray that if he was a worshiper prior to losing his seed, that he would continue to worship and serve you. I pray that the Grieving Dad will not have anger 41
