For Grieving Spouses
Father,
Adam had more of you than anyone has had.
Yet you said it is not good for him to be alone.
You made me to want to seek a spouse and fall in love.
You molded us to need each other.
And now Lord, death has come and dragged
my beloved husband out of my arms.
Lord, if I could just board a plane or a boat or a train
- if I could just touch the one I love.
If I could just see that face again.
But it is your will that I stay here without him.
Lord, in this season, in this place, in my circumstances,
bring contentment to me and make your portion enough.
Amen.
