As heartbreaking as this is, I am thankful to have known Dale through these SS forums.
Heavenly Father,
You have known our brother Dale longer than any of us. We thank You for having shared him with us as a friend, and more. We pray that in that moment when he became absent from his body and present with His Lord that he heard Your voice proclaim, "Well done, good and faithful servant."
We pray peace over all who knew and loved Dale as he walked upon this earth. May we cherish the good memories and by Your grace let go of any we should not keep a grip upon. Help each of us to be as helpful to others around us as Dale exemplified to us.
As we process our grief, we know that our strength in is You, oh Lord.
In Jesus' name we pray.
AMEN!
