A Letter of Grief and Consolation
Dear Erika Kirk,
I am so sorry.
I do not have words.
Please avoid social media right now.
People are so incredibly unkind & evil.
They do not have the mind of Christ.
They are lost souls.
Father forgive them for they know not what they do.
This prayer is easier said than done.
I am so crippled with despair over your husband’s murder and this assassination.
I hate that you and your children must live and move on without your husband.
So young, so brilliant, so willing to put himself out there to champion truth.
Please know there are many women and men out there praying for you.
There are moms holding you up -praying for comfort to the King of Kings and LORD of LORDS.
We know the Scriptures say the end of days will grow more and more evil.
People will call evil good and good evil.
We see that in your beloved’s death.
Some called it good and it makes me want to vomit.
I am so so sorry.
Though I have never met you, you clearly freed up your husband to do ministry!
You are more than a conqueror Erika and God will indeed turn your sorrow to joy!
Your husband was involved in so much ministry!
No, he was not a pastor per se. He did not serve as a teacher in a church pulpit or build houses or wells in a distant land …his ministry, his mission field-- the college campuses, the young people, the airwaves;
He championed truth and wanted to reach the lost HERE in USA. What a brave soldier indeed. His calling sure and now his mission complete. But your pain & lament-dear God have mercy!
I pray you find comfort in knowing his light definitely shined bright.
He was hated and killed like so many truth warriors. Jesus wept and we weep now over your husband’s death. You will never live a day the same. Praying your can find comfort in the psalms, in the Gospel and in the reality that your husband is with the LORD!
Was he a perfect man? No one is.
But he was yours and you were his and you sleep alone tonight.
Your babies will cuddle you. You cradled them, now they’ll cradle you.
You have a new baton. A faith baton to pass on to your children that daddy’s light was here momentarily. His life mattered. His life was well lived. Your husband showed an intense deep passion for God, and Truth and to see change in America.
He was unapologetic in a world that is always saying
“I am sorry I assumed gender”
“I am sorry I say that the Bible calls sin, I am sorry I even said the word sin”
He did not bow to Caesar.
We grieve.
We mourn.
We pray for your comfort, today, tomorrow and throughout your life and the lives of your babies who will grow up in this country.
I do not have more words, only tears and agony of heart! I feel comfort in that I and so many countless others worldwide are grieving with you and praying for God to heal, save and change America, one debate at a time. Many more debates will continue. They will continue in living rooms, in coffee shops, around the kitchen table and even at night over a phone or tv screen. Your husband sparked debate and clearly America did not get the memo. We don’t even recognize this country anymore.
We won’t stop praying for you Erika!
You are not forgotten by our LORD and you are not forgotten by us praying friends. We are the body of Christ.
The atheist may type and mock sentiments like “thoughts and prayers”
but we pray to Jehovah Jireh God our Provider, we pray to Jesus Messiah-the King of all Kings and Lord of all LORDS, we pray to our God Almighty who is bigger and mightier and more powerful than any president, king, sage, professor, scholar or earthly leader.
We pray to our God Elohim.
We pray to the Judge of all the earth.
We pray to Jesus Christ who said He alone is the Way the Truth and the Life.
We pray and even with mournful tears, we praise, because like Job, we know your husband’s life will bear much fruit, multiplied fruit…even beyond the year 2025.
Hang in there sister.
Jesus Christ lives to make intercession for you.
With much love, affection and encouragement in Christ,
Laura Gonzalez
