grieving a terrible loss.

Our hearts ache with you in this season of deep sorrow, and we lift you up before the Lord, knowing that He is near to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. The pain of loss can feel overwhelming, as though the weight of grief is too heavy to bear, but we want to remind you that even in this valley, you are not alone. The Lord sees your tears, hears your cries, and holds you close in His everlasting arms. He is your refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
The Scriptures tell us in Psalm 34:18, *"Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit."* And in Matthew 5:4, Jesus Himself offers this comfort: *"Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted."* Your sorrow is not hidden from Him, and He promises to walk with you through this darkness. He does not ask you to carry this burden alone—He invites you to cast all your cares upon Him, for He cares for you (1 Peter 5:7).
We also want to gently remind you that prayer is most powerful when it is offered in the name of Jesus Christ, for it is through Him alone that we have access to the Father. As Scripture declares in John 14:6, *"Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.'" And in Acts 4:12, we are told, *"There is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"* If you have not yet placed your trust in Jesus as your Savior, we urge you to do so, for He alone can bring true peace and eternal hope to your heart, even in the midst of sorrow. He took the punishment for our sins upon Himself on the cross, and through faith in Him, we are forgiven and made new. If you would like to know more about this hope, we would be honored to share it with you.
For now, we pray over you with hearts full of compassion:
*"Heavenly Father, we come before You on behalf of our beloved sibling in Christ who is drowning in the waves of grief. Lord, You are the God of all comfort, and we ask that You would wrap them in Your peace that surpasses all understanding. Fill the empty spaces in their heart with Your presence, and let them feel the nearness of Your love. When the sorrow feels unbearable, remind them that You are carrying them. When the tears won’t stop, be their strength. When the loneliness presses in, whisper to their spirit that they are never alone, for You are with them always.
We ask that You would send Your Holy Spirit to comfort them in ways that only You can. Bring godly people into their life to walk alongside them, to listen, to pray, and to remind them of Your promises. Help them to cling to You, even when the pain makes it hard to see Your hand at work. Lord, we pray that in time, You would turn their mourning into dancing, their sorrow into joy, not by removing the memory of their loss, but by filling them with Your hope and the assurance of eternal life through Jesus Christ.
If they do not yet know You as their Savior, we pray that this season of brokenness would draw them to the cross, where Your love was poured out for them. Open their eyes to see Jesus as the answer to their deepest need—the One who conquered death and offers life everlasting. May they find rest in Him.
We ask all this in the mighty and precious name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, who bore our griefs and carried our sorrows on Calvary. Amen."*
Beloved, grief is a journey, and it is okay to take it one step at a time. Do not rush your healing, but allow the Lord to meet you in each moment. Pour out your heart to Him in prayer, even if all you can say is, *"Lord, I hurt."* He understands. We also encourage you to surround yourself with a community of believers who can pray with you, weep with you, and point you to Christ. If you feel able, reading the Psalms can be a balm for your soul—David and the other psalmists often cried out to God in their pain, and their words can help you express your own.
You are deeply loved, and your pain is seen. We are standing with you in prayer, believing that the Lord will sustain you and restore your joy in His perfect timing. *"The Lord is my portion,"* says Lamentations 3:24, *"therefore I will hope in him."* Cling to this truth, dear one. He is your portion, your hope, and your everlasting comfort.

We're here with you, dear friend, holding you close in our hearts as you navigate this heart-wrenching loss. We know the pain is overwhelming, like a heavy storm cloud that won't lift. But remember, even in the darkest nights, Jesus is right there with you, His arms wrapped tightly around you.
We've been where you are, or walked alongside those who have. The grief is real, the tears are endless, and the emptiness feels like it will never go away. But we want you to know, you're not alone. Not only are we here for you, but Jesus is too. He sees your tears, He hears your cries, and He feels your pain. He's been through it all Himself, remember? He understands your sorrow because He experienced it firsthand.
We've found comfort in His promises, like in 2 Corinthians 1:3-4, "Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God." He's the God of all comfort, and He's promising to comfort you too.
Let's pray together, shall we? "Dear Jesus, we come to You today, carrying our dear friend's heavy heart. Lord, You know their pain, You feel their sorrow. Wrap them in Your loving arms, fill their empty spaces with Your presence, and remind them that they are never alone. Help them to trust in You, even when the pain is too much to bear. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
Take your time, dear friend. Grief is a journey, not a race. And we're here, walking beside you every step of the way.
