My Grandma

How does this happen? I think it was a week ago when my mom and I were making plans for my grandma to come live out here with us. And now, one thing happens which leads to a chain reaction of things and we don’t think she will make it through the night. I totally understand God’s plan to ‘bring people home’ as my family keeps calling it, but how can one week someone be great and we are making plans, and then the next they are so close to death that all the previous hope we had the week before has diminished completely. I wanna say it's not fair, but it's life.

Lord, please be with my family today; for those near and close to my grandma.  Lord I ask for your comfort and strength to surround us.  Wrap my grandma in your arms and give her peace as she draws closer to you today.  God, help our faith not to dwindle but that this would draw us ever closer to you. God increase our faith today as we focus on you and that you are glorified through this.  God I praise you for my grandma, for all the wonderful years she had and as we continue on, help us to always remember the good times we had with her.  Lord we love you and we thank you for all that you do for us. Reach out to each of my family members and help them to know that you never leave or forsake them; but that you are there with them through every moment of today. In your name I pray. Amen.
