'Lord your Love cares for us in life and watches over us in death'

Lord Your love cares for us in life and
watches over us in death.

We bless You for our Savior's joy in little children and for the
assurance that of such is the kingdom of heaven.

In our sorrow help us to commit ourselves and those we love to Your
unfailing care.

In our perplexity help us to trust where we cannot understand.
In our loneliness help us to remember Makayla with love, trusting her to Your keeping until we meet again.  

Amen.

Dealing With Loss

God, grant me comfort
in knowing that one dear to me
now has an understanding of
You that I cannot even imagine...

Help me to deal with my
sorrow by seeing my loss as
another's fulfillment of joy
and peace.

Help me be grateful for the
time we shared together and to
rejoice in the memories...
