Isaiah 57:1–2 The righteous man perishes, and no one lays it to heart; devout men are taken away, while no one understands. For the righteous man is taken away from calamity; he enters into peace; they rest in their beds who walk in their uprightness.

Grieving the death of my grandad.

God, in grief, you bring your mercy to mind. When death clouds the sky, your promise of peace shines through. When mourning fills the air, there is still space to rejoice with the happily deceased. Amen.
