Lord, today we pray for the loved ones of the ARA San Juan crew.
It is hard, Heavenly Father, when our prayers are not answered the way we’d
like. We wanted these 44 crew members, lost in a malfunctioning submarine, to
arrive home safely. Instead, they are now counted as dead. We declare in the
midst of our pain that we still trust you. We continue to place our hope in
you. We take a moment to give thanks for the thousands of people, dozens of
ships, and almost 20 countries that tried to find this missing submarine. We
are thankful for those who still search the vast ocean floor for clues. We pray
for those who are investigating whether corrupt “repairs” had anything to do
with this terrible tragedy. May the truth come out and this type of accident be
prevented from happening in the future. Our focus today, Lord, is on those who
were left behind. We pray for the parents, spouses, children, friends and
others who grieve this terrible loss. We pray for the nation of Argentina as
they grieve this loss collectively. During a month when so much of the world is
celebrating the Christmas season, these individuals are walking through the
valley of the shadow of death. Lord, meet with them in their pain. Let them experience
the joy of salvation. Motivate those around them to make time to walk with them
in their grief, setting aside their own interests to help another in the midst
of grave suffering. Please heal hearts. Provide for financial needs. Give all
who mourn the courage to face each new day and to trust in you. And remind us
to keep these families and individuals in our prayers as we enjoy time with our
own loved ones during this holiday season. In Jesus’ name we pray, amen.
