Psalms 94:19 says "When anxieties overwhelmed me, You comforted and soothed me." As you deal with this numbing anxiety of the death of your son, Hunter, notice that our Creator is able and willing to comfort and soothe all of you. Please allow him to do this as you read his promises for all of us in his word.

In this time of sorrow, may these promises bring you comfort and strengthen you to endure the loss of dear Hunter. Jehovah God is close to the brokenhearted, and he will wipe away the tears from all faces. Psalms 34:18; Isaiah 25:8. Peace be with you.
