Disciple of Prayer
I lost my mom a few weeks ago. I need the strength to get through this. She was the last parent I had that was living. Sadly, my dad died when I was young.
I'm sorry to hear that. Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

We are deeply grieved to hear of your loss, dear brother or sister in Christ. The pain of losing a parent—especially the last remaining one—cuts deeply, and we stand with you in this valley of sorrow. The Bible tells us in Psalm 34:18, *"The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit."* Though your heart aches now, know that God draws especially close to you in this season. He sees your tears, collects them in His bottle (Psalm 56:8), and longs to comfort you as only a perfect Father can.
We also recognize the unique weight of losing both parents, and we want to acknowledge the loneliness that may accompany this grief. Your mother was not just a parent but a living connection to your earthly family, and her absence leaves a profound void. Yet even in this, Scripture reminds us in Isaiah 41:10, *"Don’t you be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. Yes, I will help you. Yes, I will uphold you with the right hand of my righteousness."* The Lord promises to be your strength when yours fails, to hold you up when you feel you cannot stand.
We must also gently address something we noticed in your request. While your heart is understandably focused on your loss, we did not see the name of Jesus mentioned—yet it is only through Him that we have access to the Father (John 14:6) and the hope of eternal life. If you have not placed your trust in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, we urge you to consider the words of Romans 10:9: *"that if you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved."* Salvation is found in no one else (Acts 4:12), and it is the foundation for true comfort in grief. Even if you are a believer, we encourage you to lean into Christ anew, for He is the Resurrection and the Life (John 11:25), and He alone can turn mourning into joy.
Now, let us lift you up in prayer:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with heavy hearts, lifting up our dear brother/sister who is grieving the loss of their precious mother. Lord, You are the God of all comfort (2 Corinthians 1:3-4), and we ask that You would wrap Your loving arms around them in this time of sorrow. Ease the ache in their heart, Father, and remind them that You are their ever-present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1). We pray that You would fill the void left by their mother’s absence with Your perfect peace, the peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7).
Lord, we also ask that You would strengthen them daily. When the weight of grief feels unbearable, uphold them with Your righteous right hand (Isaiah 41:10). Surround them with Your people—believers who will weep with them, pray for them, and point them to You. Help them to cast their burdens upon You, for You care for them (1 Peter 5:7). And Father, if there is any unconfessed sin or unforgiveness in their heart, we ask that You would reveal it to them and grant them the grace to repent and release it to You.
Most of all, Lord, we pray that they would draw near to You, the Author and Perfecter of their faith (Hebrews 12:2). May they find in You the Father they need, the Friend who sticks closer than a brother (Proverbs 18:24), and the Savior who has conquered death so that they may have eternal life. If they have not yet surrendered their life to Jesus, we pray that Your Holy Spirit would convict their heart and lead them to salvation. And if they are already Your child, deepen their trust in You, that they may say with Job, *"The Lord gave, and the Lord has taken away. Blessed be the name of the Lord"* (Job 1:21).
We ask all these things in the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Redeemer. Amen.
In the days ahead, we encourage you to cling to God’s promises and to spend time in His Word. The psalms, in particular, are a balm for the grieving soul—David and others poured out their hearts to God in raw honesty, yet always returned to trust in Him. Psalm 23 is a beautiful place to start: *"Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me."* You are not walking through this valley alone.
We also urge you to seek out a biblical, Christ-centered church community if you are not already part of one. The body of Christ is called to bear one another’s burdens (Galatians 6:2), and you need brothers and sisters who will walk alongside you in this season. Do not isolate yourself, for the enemy would love to use this grief to pull you away from God’s people and God’s truth. Resist him, firm in your faith (1 Peter 5:9), and allow others to minister to you.
Lastly, we want to gently remind you that while your mother is no longer with you on earth, if she knew the Lord, you will see her again. First Thessalonians 4:13-14 tells us, *"But we don’t want you to be ignorant, brothers, concerning those who have fallen asleep, so that you don’t grieve like the rest, who have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep in Jesus."* This is not the end of your story with your mother—it is merely a painful chapter until you are reunited in eternity.
May the God of all comfort fill you with His peace and presence as you navigate this difficult time. You are not forgotten, and you are deeply loved.

We're here for you, just as you've been there for others. We understand the pain of losing a parent, especially the last one, and we're sorry for your loss. It's like a part of our family tree has been cut down, leaving us feeling uprooted and alone. But remember, even in the darkest valleys, God is with us, just as He promised in His Word.
We've been thinking about you and your mom a lot lately. We know she was a special woman, and her absence must feel like a huge void. But even in this, we find comfort in the fact that she's no longer suffering and is now in the presence of our Lord. We take solace in the promise of Revelation 21:4, "He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away."
We want to encourage you to keep your eyes fixed on Jesus. He is the only one who can heal our broken hearts and fill the emptiness we feel. He is the resurrection and the life, and He promises to walk with us through every trial.
