A painful tragedy for family, friends and community. From this distance, prayer is as close as I can get and is what I have to offer.
Almighty and ever Loving God, Creator of Life on both sides of death, we ask your blessing on our Brother your servant Justin. Lord, he was a fireman who has answered his last alarm. Following Christ's own example, he put himself in harms way for friends and strangers alike. We pray that you found favor in his work and in his life and that he has come to know the fulfillment of your promise of life eternal. And we pray that all who suffer this terrible untimely loss may seek comfort in your grace and be rewarded.
We pray too, as our tasks may indeed take us through the valley of the shadow of death, that you stay our ever present source of strength and courage and you keep us ever mindful that we never go in or come out without you.
All this we ask in Christ’s name. Amen
