Dear Lord,
Though the shock of my loss breaks my heart, You are the God who comforts me and heals my shattered spirit.
I come to You, crying out with all my heart, and You hear and rescue me. You draw near when I am crushed with pain. You use Your miraculous power to restore my life. When bad things happen to me or to those I love, You save me and will not allow me to be defeated.
This is not yet heaven, but one day when You call me to Yourself in the eternal, You will wipe every tear from my eyes, and loss will be no more. There will be no cancer, illness, divorce, unemployment, rejection, betrayal, difficulties, death, sorrow, tears, pandemic, or pain. They will not exist.
My loss is not a sign that You have turned from me. In fact, You hold me close. You have heard my cry and have not hidden Your face from me.
Lord, I open my broken heart to You. Restore me so that I can feel Your grace, love, and comfort. Take me through this valley with a song of praise on my lips, for I know that You are not the author of my pain. It is the enemy who steals, kills, and destroys, not You. You are my healer, and I choose to trust You no matter what I face. You will use each valley to make me stronger and draw me closer.
In the name of Jesus, amen.
He heals the wounds of every shattered heart.
Psalm 147:3 TPT
Yet when holy lovers of God cry out
to him with all their hearts,
the Lord will hear them and come to rescue them
from all their troubles.
The Lord is close to all whose hearts are crushed by pain,
and he is always ready to restore the repentant one.
Even when bad things happen to the good and godly ones,
the Lord will save them and not let them be defeated
by what they face.
Psalm 34:17–19 TPT
He will wipe every tear from their eyes, and there will be no more death or sorrow or crying or pain. All these things are gone forever.
Revelation 21:4 NLT
For He has not turned away from the suffering of the one in pain or trouble. He has not hidden His face from him. But He has heard his cry for help.
Psalm 22:24 NLV
