For When a Teammate has Died

Merciful Father,

Our hearts are crushed as our teammate has been taken from us.

We are grasping for meaning in this swirling pool of grief.

We are overcome with emotions that we don’t even understand.

We are struggling to find Your will in this pain.

Have mercy on our broken spirits.

Visit us with Your lovingkindness.

Restore us with your comfort and consolation.

We need You desperately and rush into Your loving embrace.

Our grieving hearts pray in Jesus’ strong name,

Amen.
