A year ago today a friend of mine committed suicide. Her name was Elizabeth. I pray for her family, for everyone who knew her, because we’re all struggling right now. She was only 15 and had a little sister. I pray especially for her parents, because they too are still grieving. May God hold them.

Father God, Creator of All, I thank you for Elizabeth and while we miss her dearly, we know this beloved child is in your arms, resting comfortably, and all the pain she experienced in this life is no more. We don’t know why she took her life; we do know you gladly accepted her into the kingdom. Father, I pray for the family and her dear little sister as they search for answers. I pray they find your grace, peace, and mercy, and come closer to knowing you. Give them the peace that passes all understanding, and quiet the doubt and fears racing through their minds. We cannot undo the past nor in our own minds try to understand it; all we can and must do is lean on you, Lord, and allow your son Jesus Christ to come in to heal the open wounds of our hearts. I keep this family and all friends like Kayla lifted up in prayer. In Jesus’ mighty name, Amen!!
