Prayer for a dear friend

I would like to ask for prayer for my friend Virginia. A few weeks ago, her grandfather became unexpectantly ill. This weekend he passed away.

Having a loss at home for a young woman who is very close with her family, would be a struggle, but having to stay here is that much more difficult. May you pray for her family, for her mother in her loss of her father, and for Virginia herself. May the Lord guide her these next weeks as she struggles through this loss at a distance from her family.

I cannot imagine, nor would I chose to, to know the pain of dealing with loss from here. As these are our first years away from home, this is a young woman´s biggest fear. May God give her strength that she does not even realize. And courage to push on.

Thank you for your continued prayers for this community.

Virginia is in my thoughts and prayer. I cant imagine her pain and turmoil of being in bolivia while having this back at home. Trust that the Lord loves her and will give her strength.
