A longtime friend of our son died recently. He was barely out of his teens, and we are still in disbelief about his passing.  In our struggle to find God in our sorrow, we have found peace in the following simple prayer offered at his funeral.  We would like to share these words of truth and hope with you.

Let us come together in Christ’s peace
To mourn because we are human,
To rejoice because we are Christian,
To thank God the Father for the gift of life,
To celebrate the power of Jesus’ Resurrection and
To sing our alleluias of hope because we are
People of God in life and in death.

I’ve said these things to you so that you will have peace in me. In the world you have distress. But be encouraged! I have conquered the world.  John 16:33. Common English Bible.
