Prayer
Dear Heavenly Father,
In this moment of deep sorrow and heartache, I turn to You, seeking comfort and peace. I find myself navigating through the profound loss that weighs heavily on my heart. Please grant me the strength to endure this pain and the wisdom to understand its meaning.
Help me, Lord, to cherish the memories I hold close, allowing them to fill the void left by my loss. Wrap me in Your loving embrace, reminding me that I am never alone. Even in the depths of my grief, I have faith that You are by my side, guiding me through each moment of despair.
I ask for Your healing touch to soothe my wounded soul and bring light to this darkness. Teach me to find joy again, even in small things, and to honor the love I’ve lost by living a life that praises You. Help me to lean on my friends and family, who provide earthly support, and to lean into Your eternal love that holds me steadfast.
Thank You, dear Lord, for listening to my prayer and for Your unwavering presence. May my spirit be uplifted, knowing that my loved one is now in Your care, safe and at peace. Until I can join them at Your table, help me to carry their spirit within me, forever grateful for the time we shared.
Amen.
