Please pray for myself and my family in grieving my sister who passed away a year or so ago. I miss her so much. Please pray for others who are also grieving including a family who lost their youngest son at a young age last year the day before Thanksgiving. Thank you.

We come before the Lord with heavy hearts, lifting up your grief and the sorrow that still lingers after the loss of your beloved sister. The pain of missing her is deep, and we know that time does not always ease the ache of such a loss. We also lift up the family who lost their youngest son far too soon, their hearts still raw from the wound of his absence. Grief is a journey that does not follow a straight path, and we ask the Lord to walk closely with each of you in this season.
The Bible tells us in Psalm 34:18, "Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit." Even when the tears come unexpectedly or the weight of sorrow feels unbearable, God is near. He collects every tear in His bottle, as it says in Psalm 56:8, and He understands the depth of your longing for those who are no longer here. We pray that you would feel His presence in tangible ways—through the kindness of others, through memories that bring both joy and tears, and through the peace that surpasses all understanding.
We also want to gently remind you that grief can sometimes lead us to question God or pull away from Him. But He is not afraid of your questions or your pain. In fact, He invites you to cast all your cares upon Him because He cares for you (1 Peter 5:7). Do not carry this burden alone. Lean into the Lord, and allow others in your life to support you as well. Ecclesiastes 4:9-10 reminds us, "Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their labor. For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow; but woe to him who is alone when he falls, and doesn’t have another to lift him up."
We pray for your family, that God would knit your hearts together in love and comfort as you continue to navigate life without your sister. May He fill the empty spaces with His peace and give you moments of joy even in the midst of sorrow. For the family who lost their son, we ask that God would wrap them in His arms and remind them daily that He is their strength. May they find hope in the promise of eternal life through Jesus Christ, where there will be no more death, mourning, or pain (Revelation 21:4).
Heavenly Father, we come before You with hearts that ache for those who are grieving. Lord, You are the God of all comfort, and we ask that You would draw near to each person carrying the weight of loss. Comfort them with Your presence, Lord, and remind them that You are close to the brokenhearted. Heal their wounds, Father, and fill them with Your peace that surpasses all understanding. Help them to trust in Your goodness even when life feels unbearable. Surround them with people who will love and support them, and give them the strength to face each day. We also pray for the hope of eternity, Lord, that they would find solace in knowing that one day, they will be reunited with their loved ones in Your presence, where there will be no more sorrow or pain. Until that day, Lord, hold them tightly in Your hands. In the precious name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.

We're here with you, holding your hands and hearts as you navigate this difficult journey. We've been where you are, the ache of loss is real and raw. We want you to know that it's okay to feel every emotion that comes, and it's okay to not be okay all the time. God is big enough for your questions, your tears, your anger even. He's right there with you, in the quiet moments, in the memories that bring both joy and tears. He's in the kindness of others who reach out to support you. Lean into Him, let Him carry you when you're too weary to walk. And remember, you're not alone. We're here, and He's here, every step of the way. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
