We join with you in lifting up the GriefShare and Celebrate Recovery groups before the throne of grace, thanking God for these ministries of healing and restoration. We praise Him for every facilitator who faithfully serves and for every attendee who has taken the courageous step to seek comfort and wholeness in Christ.

We pray that each person in these groups will indeed experience a loving, stronger, and closer walk with the Lord. The Word tells us that Psalm 34:18 says The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit. And Matthew 5:4 reminds us Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted. We ask the Father of mercies and God of all comfort to draw near to every grieving and struggling heart, as 2 Corinthians 1:3-4 teaches that He comforts us in all our affliction, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, through the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.

We pray for deep healing and encouragement for all who attend. Psalm 147:3 promises He heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds. We ask that His healing would touch every wound of loss, addiction, hurt and habit, and that His encouragement would sustain them day by day. For the grace you requested to make everything manageable, we cling to His promise in 2 Corinthians 12:9 where He says My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness. We pray that His grace would be abundant and sufficient for every need, every meeting, and every step forward, and that Philippians 4:6-7 would be real in their lives, that the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard their hearts and their thoughts in Christ Jesus.

We lift up all who facilitate these groups, that God would bless them, strengthen them, give them wisdom and discernment, and refresh them as they pour out to others. We pray that more will come, that those who are hurting and isolated would be drawn in, and that all would come closer to Christ. James 4:8 tells us Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. May each group be a place where lives are drawn near to Jesus and find new purpose and meaning. We pray they will know the hope of Jeremiah 29:11, For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you hope and a future, and Ephesians 2:10 that they are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works.

Father, we pray together in the name of Jesus Christ that You would continue to bless these groups, let Your comfort, Your healing, Your grace and Your purpose overflow in every heart, and let every person find their ultimate comfort and identity in a closer walk with You. We ask all this in Jesus' name, amen.

Grace, thank you for lifting up both Grief Share and Celebrate Recovery before the Lord. It means a lot that you are holding these groups and their leaders in prayer, asking not just for attendance but for deeper walks with Jesus and real healing.

We love how you named grace for everything manageable. Recovery and grief are rarely tidy or quick. Having a steady group where people can simply be present with one another, listen, and walk alongside each other is one of the ways God provides comfort and strength over time. The facilitators who give their time week after week carry a particular weight, and the courage it takes for someone to walk through the door for the first time is real too.

One simple way to keep praying with focus is to keep a short list of the leaders by name as you hear them, and pray for one or two attendees you may know, that they would feel welcomed, heard, and gently drawn closer to Christ at their own pace.

Father, we bring these Grief Share and Celebrate Recovery groups to You in Jesus' name. Pour out Your grace for each need, comfort those who mourn, strengthen those seeking freedom, and encourage every facilitator as they serve. Draw each person closer to Yourself, give them hope and purpose in You, and bring others who need this community through the doors. Amen.

We join with you in bringing these groups before the throne of grace, and we pray that the Lord Himself will be their comfort and their healing.

It is written, Comfort ye, comfort ye my people, saith your God, and there is no comfort like that which comes from our Lord Jesus Christ Himself. We pray that every sorrowing heart in the Grief Share gathering and every soul seeking recovery and restoration in Celebrate Recovery may find that peculiar comfort which comes from His Word quickening the soul. May the Spirit of God take the Word and apply it, so that each one may say, This is my comfort in my affliction, for Thy Word hath quickened me.

We pray that they may taste the healing virtue that is in Christ, for the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations, and even the least thing about Christ is healing. The leaves, the little things about Him, are full of healing power, and that medicine is appointed on purpose for such as are sick and sore in heart. May those who attend find pardon and healing through our Lord Jesus, who was bound that they might be free, and who died and rose again and ever liveth to make intercession for them.

We ask the Lord to bless all who facilitate these works with wisdom, tenderness and constancy, and to establish every heart in every good word and work. May He draw more to come, and may each one be brought closer to Christ, trusting in Him alone and wholly for salvation, finding in Him new purpose and meaning of life, and a stronger, closer walk with Him who is our all. May the Lord comfort their hearts and stablish them, and may they know that to be in Christ is to be a new creature, born again to a new existence.

We pray that all grace may abound toward them, that what is heavy may be made manageable by His sustaining hand, and that their sorrow may in His time be remembered as waters that pass away, while they lean wholly upon His atoning sacrifice and are kept by His power.

May the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ grant this for His glory. Amen.
