Dear Father,

I recently have a dearest friend who suddenly lost his dearest father. He is still so young and seeing him go through the stages of shock, sadness, and eventually to the point where he will start grieving saddens me very deeply. I care so much for him to the point that I am also affected by his hurt and pain. I wish I could do something to relieve his situation, but I could only be his support and say my prayers for the loss in his family at this time. It's his dad's birthday in two days, and I just want to ask that you take good of his father, Lord. I also ask that you give him and his family the strength to go through this tough time. Please provide ways for me to help my friend as much as I can through his hardship. Thank you, Father. Amen.

Your child
