I got this prayer from St. Margaret of Scotland, a Catholic Church close to my place. I just want to share this to all of you especially those who still in grief like me.
"How can a void be filled and pain eased from losing a loved one or friend? Did that one walk with the Lord or are we left to wonder. Either way, grief remains -- deep, sharp with no solace in sight. On the day of the funeral it often rains; if not outwardly, in our hearts. How appropriate it matches the tears we shed. Yet, as a glimmer of sunlight cuts through our rain, we see again God's everlasting promise arrayed in glorious color. Each shade reminds us of His many promises:
RED , for His Love
- John 3:16 - For God so loved the world that He gave His only son so that everyone who believes in Him might not perish but might have eternal life.
ORANGE, His warm healing and comfort
- Matthew 5:4 - Blessed are they who mourn, for they will be comforted.
YELLOW, The sun that will shine again
- Jeremiah 31:13 - Then the virgins shall make merry and dance, and young men and old as well. I will turn their mourning into joy; I will console and gladden them after their sorrows.
GREEN, His help for us to grow
- Peter 2:2 - Like newborn infants, long for pure spiritual milk so that through it you may grow into salvation.
BLUE, His unending faithfulness
- Psalm 56:3-4 - My foes treat me harshly all the day; Yes, many are my attackers; O Most High, when I am afraid, in you I place my trust.
INDIGO, we are children of the King
- Luke 20:36 - They can no longer die, for they are like angels; and they are the children of God because they are the ones who will rise.
VIOLET, a new song to return in His time
- Song of Solomon 2:12 - For see, the winter is past, the rains are over and gone. The flowers appear on the earth, the time of prunning the vines has come, and the song of the above is heard in our land.
As we focus on His love and word, in time He will fill our void and loneliness and heal our pain. "
