Dear Heavenly Father,

We have come here this day to commit to your loving care, the spirit of Baby De'Airius McLean.

We have also come to show our love and support for these dear parents, Shania Gladden and Ke'Avis McLean to surround them with our love, our prayers, and our faith.

We are not here today because we are wise enough to understand this situation, but we are here today because we are human enough to share in their sense of disappointment and hurt.  The love of God that has been shed abroad in our heart compels us to reach out to them and touch them in some meaningful way.

We thank you this day for the comfort of the Holy Spirit, and for the promise, Lord Jesus, that you will never leave us or forsake us.

We thank you that beyond the sorrows and disappointments of life, we have hope and confidence because of your goodness and faithfulness.

We ask this day that you would help each of us look beyond the limitations and the heartaches of this temporal life and see the glories and the wonder of your eternal promises and your everlasting kingdom.

In Jesus Name, Amen.
