Pray for a grieving family

[faith88]

Please pray for the husband and family of Gail Skene, who was killed in a head-on car-crash in Scotland, last Friday. She leaves a husband, James and four children. The eldest is a son of 21 the youngest is a girl of 13, Zara, who was in the car with her when the accident happened, and is still in hospital.

My husband and I are going to the funeral on Friday. It is so difficult to be able to comfort any of Gail's family. Her father, David, has a heart condition. They are not Christians.

Please pray for this family, especially Zara. I feel that all I can do is pray. Only God's love can work to heal the hurts, in time.
Please pray for wisdom for me, as I meet this family for the first time. I feel it is only appropraite to mourn with those who mourn. I cannot even imagine their pain, and I feel helpless.
I would welcome any advice with your prayers. Thank you and God bless.

Heavenly Father, I lift up this family into your hands and pray that you have mercy on Gail's soul. May her soul rest in peace.
MAy James and their young children be filled with Your comforting love through this time of great loss, and may the precious blood of Your Son, Jesus, cover them all. Wrap them in Your arms of love and be their comfort and refuge, a God whom they can turn to, to hope in. May they be able to forgive all involved in the crash, and not hold any grudges and anger, but let them be able to release all that they feel, to You. Also help faith88 to be a source of Your inspiration and presence to them.

I make this prayer in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen.

Thank you so much for your prayers.

Amanda, what discernment! You truly must have discerned by the Holy Spirit that someone would have a problem with anger. It is Gail's husband. Although the young man who caused the accident was also killed, there is some talk that he took drugs and Gail's husband is VERY angry- and says hewants "justice for Gail" as there would be no way she would drive carelessly. She always gave herself a lot of time for her journey, in case she met tractors and the like, as it's a rural area in Scotland.

Please pray about James' anger. The rest of the family are of course, devastated, but they are pulling together. The young girls were even having a little laugh, when everyone met up to have refreshments, afterwards- although their hearts are broken, and it will be worse when things return to "normal" for others- and their lives will never be the same.
Thank you so much for your prayers. God bless you.

Praise God, for all that He inspires us to pray for.

O Father God, I lift up James into Your hands and ask You to cradle him in Your arms of love and mercy, that he may be able to look upon Your Son Jesus, on the cross, and be moved enough to say,"Father forgive him". Ease the hurt and pain that he is struggling with, and probably even guilt at not being able to help his wife, and may this time of loss bring him closer to You, more dependent and thirsting for You. I cover him and his family with the precious blood of Jesus, that they be able to get through this time of shock and distress, and in the end be effective witnesses in Your name.

I make this prayer through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.
