Prayer to Bear the Price of Love….Grief–November 3, 2019

November 3, 2019 by Jack Emmott Leave a Comment

God – Recently, three exceptional humans in Houston, Rusty Howard, Will Cannon, and John Fedorko, died.  Rusty’s Barbara, Will’s Jane and John’s Jana and their family and friends are grieving.  They have hearts in need of our prayers and Your healing.

Just yesterday, I learned that a longtime friend and unnamed World War II hero and one of America’s last living Ace’s is in hospice care.  Preparing to make his final flight on the wings of angels to Heaven.  To salute You, the God he served.  The God who gave him the Land and Country he dearly loved.

The inspirational quote posted here has an unknown author.  But, the children You have gifted with loving hearts know what it means to grieve.

Grieving is not confined to the death of those we have loved or who loved us.  Grief is born in the separation from a close friend.  Divorce.  The loss of a job.  The death of a dream.  Bankruptcy. The onset of cancer or other illness.  Although the sources of grief are many, You are the One True God.  The source of life over death.  Holy light over the darkness of grief.  The beacon of hope to those who struggle in the dark to navigate the process of grief.

God, in prayer, please assure all who grieve that grieving does change; but that Your love for them never does.

God, in prayer, please give peace to those who grieve.  That their loved ones dwell with You. That life and the living of it do not end with death.  Yet, in You, the ending is a new beginning for their departed in Heaven.  A blessed opportunity to grow in their faith in You and Your plans for them on Earth.

Jesus died.

Yet He lives.

We live and love.

So we can die in You.

In dying we live eternal life.

Amen.

Prayer for Barbara Runge and Rusty Howard – September 15, 2019

September 16, 2019 by Jack Emmott Leave a Comment

Lord – This morning I learned that Rusty died after a courageous battle against cancer.

Barbara and Rusty were and are much more than a remarkable married couple. They are an inspiration to others in what can be overcome with devotion to each other and to You.

Throughout the years Rusty faced stem cell transplants, blood transfusions, traditional and experimental treatments to kill this deadly disease; Barbara showed Rusty that nothing was more important to her than him and her love for him.

The faith in You that anchored Barbara and Rusty in Holy hope provided Rusty the strength to stay strong and to reflect Your peace to others in an unbelievable and inconceivable way.

Rusty was an extraordinary land man. No doubt his greatest discovery was Barbara. His richest find was the love deposited in the deep well of Barbara’s heart for him.

Lord, today let us pray for Rusty that Your angels guide him Home to You in Heaven.

Lord, let us pray that Your angels wrap their wings of light and love around Barbara’s grief.

Lord, we thank You for the love given by Barbara to Rusty before and after contracting cancer.

For when there was less and less of Rusty’s health, there was more and more of Barbara and her love and care of him.

Rusty may have lost the war against cancer. But, thanks to You, Rusty won the ultimate victory of everlasting life in You due to Your sacrifice in the death and resurrection of Your precious Son, Jesus Christ. Amen
