Comfort
Prayer for Grief and Loss
Grief can leave us without words. This is a prayer for the brokenhearted, asking God to draw near in sorrow and to carry you until joy can return.
Compassionate God, my heart is broken and the ache of this loss is more than I can bear alone. Draw near to me in my grief. You are close to the brokenhearted, and I need Your nearness now. Hold me through the waves of sorrow. Comfort me on the days I cannot find the words, and remind me that love does not end. Give me strength for each hour, and let me feel that I do not mourn without hope. In time, bring healing to this wound, and carry me until joy can return. I rest in Your tender care. Amen.
