As a preacher I’m often called upon to pray. Praying comes natural to me and I like to pray. But when I’m called upon to pray for families in bereavement it’s hard. I know no matter what I pray, words are not enough. Their hearts are broken, the bottom has just fell out from under them, life as they know it has changed forever, and I have to find a way to say words. It’s in these moments I find silence sometimes is the best. If they want to scream, curse, yell, holler or whatever, I let them do it; because I really don’t know their pain at that moment. While I’m silent I’m praying Lord fix it. Lord do it. Lord comfort. Lord have your way. Lord what do I say when I do speak. If you’re helping someone through the grieving process it’s ok to be quiet. You don’t always have to say something. Pray for the peace of God to come in and let his presence fill the room.
Be blessed and continue to be a blessing.
