Two months ago, Brian's coworker tragically lost her son. He passed away as a result of a car accident, leaving his mother bereft of any comfort or consolation, as he did not know the Lord. Since then she has been stricken deeply with grief, as one would reasonably assume. Without knowledge of God, to whom do they turn in such a time as this (John 6:68)?
Today she called and asked if she can come to church. As far as we know, this is the first time in her life she has made an effort to respond God in any way. It is through her mourning that the Holy Spirit has begun his supernatural work in unveiling her eyes to see Jesus clearly (1 Cor 3:16).
Holy Spirit, thank you that you are the God of all comfort, and that in times of unbelievable sorrow you bring healing. Father, you too lost your own son, and understand the depth of her grief. Please bring her healing and peace. Thank you that in her mourning, you are blessing her with revelation of yourself. Would you continue to remove the veil from her face, that she might see with eyes wide open the glory of the cross of Christ, and the hope of his resurrection. May she come to know and love you, and be blessed in her mourning by the gift of your comfort.
