Todays Prayer: Open my eyes so that I may see the fullness of God's power
Yesterday I was talking with a ROHO Subscriber who had just lost her mother. She talked to me about the grief and pain she has been feeling for months. We prayed together and I offered her words of comfort, but in that moment I was reminded of the tremendous amount of grief that you may be feeling right now. I know you are going through a season where it seems like so many things are changing all around you, while also trying to adjust to the pain of yesterday. Today I want to send you 2 prayers that will help you overcome your grief. Whether you have lost your mother, father, spouse, child-- you will come through this pain. In some situations the loss is not from a person, perhaps you are grieving the loss of a relationship, or a job--this too can be heart-wrenching. I pray that you are reminded that the morning will come.
A Prayer for Grief and Sadness Dear God, You know my heart. You know the sadness that fills it. You recognize how my grief has pushed all other emotions aside and weighs heavily on me. See me, God. Hear me, God. Please help me to accept that my loved one has been called home. Remove my anger ( and replace it with a greater acceptance of your will. I pray for your healing of my endless sadness and constant grief that prevents me from living. Help me to see the good in my life and refocus my attention on my family and the joy you have placed in my life. Guide me to find new ways to cope with my loss that will renew my soul and refill my heart with your eternal love.
I offer this prayer to God to lift this burden of grief from my heart. Shine your eternal light onto my soul and let me feel the joy of your love. Guide me with your wisdom, so I may understand your plan. Let me lean upon your strength so I may grow strong once more and emerge from my loss with a renewed spirit of love and hope. In Jesus name, Amen
