“Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.” (Matthew 5:4)
Prayer of Comfort for the Grieving
Lord Jesus I know that You are close to those that are broken-hearted and grieving in their soul
You rescue those that are crushed in spirit.
Draw near to Your many children who are facing times of sadness and loss
and draw each one ever closer into Your precious arms of love and support.
Be close to all that are grieving today I pray, and flood their souls with hope
– knowing that underneath are Your everlasting arms.
Give me a heart that is sensitive to those that are grieving,
the wisdom to know when to speak words of comfort or when to keep silent.
And Lord I also pray that You would use my life to be a channel of encouragement and hope,
through whom the peace of the Lord Jesus Christ will flow into their hearts – to heal and help.
Amen
