A little Prayer

Juz received news tt a Christian mummy I known from forum has lost her child at 12 weeks.. It made me sad & often wonder why did God give a wonderful gift & yet take it away before it was due? If that was the case, won't it b better tat there was no pregnancy in the first place? As in infertility is already a big challenge on its own, infertility followed by miscarriage is even worse..
At the same time I'm reminded tat God always has the bigger picture in mind for us, and His plans will always be for the overall gd for us. Much as we don't understand why things happen the way it is, the most we can do is to turn to God, and seek him. In all times, pray for peace, .....
Here's praying to the mummy that she recovers from this soon to be able to pick herself up again..
Consolation Prayer
Father of all mercies and God of all consolation,
you pursue us with untiring love
and dispel the shadow of death
with the bright dawn of life.
Give courage to this family in their loss and sorrow.
Be their refuge and strength, O Lord,
reassure them of your continuing love
and lift them from the depths of grief
into the peace and light of your presence.
Your Son, our Lord Jesus Christ,
by dying has destroyed our death,
and by rising, restored our life.
Your Holy Spirit, our comforter,
speaks for us in groans too deep for words.
Come alongside your people,
remind them of your eternal presence
and give them your comfort and strength.
All Amen.
