Dear Lord Jesus, I feel so alone. I have lost my friend and partner of a life-time and it is quite daunting to know that I will never see them again – on earth.
I want to thank You for always being there for me. Thank You, that You are with me in all the sadness that I am going through. May I rest in Your arms, knowing that no matter what happens, You are always there to be my comfort and guide.
I pray that when those dark times come when sadness wells up wthin my heart, that You will be there to comfort and help. Thank You Jesus,
Amen.
Father, forgive the bereaved for any sins they have committed through thoughts, words, or deeds. Forgive them if they have not meditated on Your Word to find comfort. Father, forgive them if they have not been totally submissive to Your perfect will for their lives. Forgive them for any hurtful things they may have said or done to the deceased. Lord, help them to forgive the deceased if necessary. Please remind them of anyone they need to forgive; and help them to forgive quickly.
Loving Father, I am finding it so hard to even get up bed to start the day, knowing that I have to face it alone and without the one I love so dearly – I know that without Your grace and sufficiency I could never get through the day – but I thank You that You have promised to be with me and to provide me with Your strength for the day as well as bright hope for tomorrow. I can't imagine tomorrow being anything but a day filled with pain – as I do not have my loved one beside me, but I ask that in Your grace You will give me the strength to get through today, step by step – knowing that You are there to carry me, even when my heart seems to fail from the grief and pain that I am going through.
May the Lord comfort you and grant you the enablement to bear the loss. It shall be well with you in Jesus' name.
Weeping may endure for a night but joy comes in the morning, you will experience joy again in Jesus' name. The hand of the Lord will see you through this difficult time in Jesus' name.
Dear Lord,
Please help me in this time of loss and overwhelming grief. Right now it seems like nothing will ease the pain of this loss. I don't understand why you've allowed this heartache in my life. But I turn to you for comfort now. I seek your loving and reassuring presence. Please, dear Lord, be my strong fortress, my shelter in this storm.
I lift my eyes to You because I know my help comes from You. I fix my eyes on You. Give me the strength to seek You, to trust in Your unfailing love and faithfulness. Heavenly Father, I will wait on You and not despair; I will quietly wait for your salvation.
My heart is crushed, Lord. I pour out my brokenness to You. I know that You will not abandon me forever. Please show me Your compassion, Lord. Help me find a path of healing through the pain so that I will hope in You again.
Lord, I trust in Your strong arms and loving care. You are a good Father. I will put my hope in You. I believe the promise in Your Word to send me fresh mercy each new day. I will return to this place of prayer until I can feel Your comforting embrace.
Although I can't see past today, I trust in Your great love to never fail me. Give me Your grace to face this day. I cast my burdens on You, knowing You will carry me. Give me courage and strength to meet the days ahead.
Amen.
Lord, at the moment nothing seems to be able to help the loss I feel.
My heart is broken and my spirit mourns.
All I know is that Your grace is sufficient.
This day, this hour
Moment by moment
I choose to lean on You,
For when I am at my weakest Your strength is strongest.
I pour out my grief to You
And praise You that on one glorious day
When all suffering is extinguished and love has conquered
We shall walk together again.
Our Father in heaven, may Your Name be honored. There is none greater than You. You are our refuge and strength. You are always ready to help in times of trouble. We praise You, Lord. We lift our hearts with praise. It is good to sing praises to You, our God; how delightful and how right! Lord, You are great and mighty in power. Your understanding is infinite. We thank You, Father, for the life of our loved one(s) who have gone on to be with You. Thank You for their time on earth and the impact they had on our lives. We are thankful to You and we bless Your Name.
