District Elder Robinson, wife and family - Praise the Lord! My message of condolence is coming to you as an intercessory prayer! The loss of a loved one is a very hard test; and, with the homegoing of a parent, especially as with for you, your mother, the test is even greater! The tears will come as you labor with her physical absence; but, through it all, God will bring you comfort!Dear Lord, our father, in your infinite wisdom and with your loving kindness, as it was your will to take Sister Reatha Robinson to her eternal place of rest, we strive to abide by your will. We seek your strength, your comfort and direction as we go forward with our eyes lifted up. With this prayer for comfort to the family, we offer our praise, for once again you have extended mercy to one of your children and relieved her from pain and suffering. We give you honor and glorify the name of Jesus as we pray! Amen.Elder
