I read your previous post in the middle of the night. I couldn't sleep for some reason. I know you mentioned that you believe in God, but are not religious. Frankly, right now, I wouldn't expect you to be overly religious. I can't fathom the pain you and your family are left to endure.

We aren't made to live on this world eternally. I wholeheartedly believe that you, your wife, and your family will be reconnected with your daughter sooner than later. Unlike this world, that reconnection will be for eternity.

This prayer has gotten me through many tough times - all of which pale in comparison to yours. I hope you find the time, when appropriate, to read and pray it.

My Lord God,
I have no idea where I am going.
I do not see the road ahead of me.
I cannot know for certain where it will end.
nor do I really know myself,
and the fact that I think I am following your will
does not mean that I am actually doing so.
But I believe that the desire to please you
does in fact please you.
And I hope I have that desire in all that I am doing.
I hope that I will never do anything apart from that desire.

And I know that if I do this you will lead me by the right road,

though I may know nothing about it.
Therefore will I trust you always though
I may seem to be lost and in the shadow of death.

I will not fear, for you are ever with me,
and you will never leave me to face my perils alone.
