My prayer for you today.

Lord, this world is not exactly what you intended it to be. Sin has touched everything, including our life. Life is now filled with hardship. Life is now tainted by death. Our hearts ache before you today.
We also yearn for the future, when you restore all things through Christ. We are eager to experience life as you meant it to be. We are glad for the promise of life without death. And, yes, we look forward to being reunited in your family with those
who have died. All praise, glory, and honor be to you, O God. In the marvelous name of our savior and Lord Jesus Christ, I pray. Amen.
