For Josiah


Josiah died far too young of a disease that takes so many each year. No words, no matter how true and well meaning, will soften the hurt and pain of his no longer being among us; a young man who was a blessing to his family and to all who knew him. Below is a prayer for Josiah,his family and friends.May it be a comfort to them all.

O Lord Jesus Christ,who didst take the children into thine arms and bless them: Open thou our eyes,we beseech thee, that we may perceive that thou hast now taken this young man into the arms of thy love, and hast bestowed upon him the blessings of thy gracious favour; who livest and reignest with the Father and the Holy Spirit,one God,world without end. Amen.
