Father, comfort this wife and these children at this difficult time. Draw her near and minister to her as she works through her grief. As time passes help her to remember the wonderful things that they shared and to rejoice in those memories. Father restore her joy and heal her broken heart. Father , help her to parent her children alone for now...and to bring them up to believe and obey you. Provide for her and her children in every area of need. In Jesus name...Amen!
