Psalm 88:9b-12
Every day I call upon you, O LORD; I spread out my hands to you. Do you work wonders for the dead? Do the departed rise up to praise you? Selah Is your steadfast love declared in the grave, or your faithfulness in Abaddon? Are your wonders known in the darkness, or your righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?
Lord, help my friends to realize that You do not seek harm but have allowed them and their son to make choices that have resulted in this mess. Help them to see that Your promises of a full and joy-filled life in You are still available to all; that You are ready to lift them up, walk with them through all the consequences, and that You are the Shepherd that gave His life for the flock.
