Dear Heavenly Father,
My heart is breaking. Devastating loss is sweeping across our world, leaving us with shock, sadness, and pain. Heal our hearts, Lord. There is no one who can comfort us like you. Hear our cries for help, and restore hope in the midst of our heartbreak.
Your Word promises us that although we “sow in tears,” we will “reap with shouts of joy.” Thank you for that good news! It brings me hope today as I cry for loved ones who’ve died. I know they are with Jesus, but I miss them so much. Knowing we have eternal hope through our Savior calms my heart and helps me face the day with renewed joy.
Thank you God that whatever pain we feel on this earth, it is only temporary. Romans 15:13 says, “May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.” Fill our hearts with your joy and peace today. You are the God of hope.
In Jesus’ Name I pray, Amen.
