Hello family,
I pray that you all take comfort in the knowledge that Jehovah will wipe out sickness and pain and death will be no more (revelations 21: 3-4) Please find comfort that there is a forgiving God who plans to wipe out death forever. Please draw close to him in this time of distress as he is near to those who are broken hearted.
