Please also pray for me about piano. While I love music, I lost all interest in playing piano when my ### passed away last year. There are also some other things that happened this year (which were actually good things) which I noticed that for some reason, when these things occurred, I seemed to totally lose interest in playing piano and I now have to really force myself to practice. I have a piano lesson today and I really don't feel like doing it.

We understand your heartache and the deep loss you’ve experienced. Grief can indeed drain our passion for the things we once loved, even when other circumstances in life seem positive. The piano, which once brought you joy, may now feel like a reminder of what you’ve lost or even a burden when motivation fades. But we want to encourage you with the truth of God’s Word and lift you up in prayer.
First, we gently remind you that it is only through Jesus Christ that we have access to the Father and the hope we need in times of sorrow. Jesus said in John 14:6, *"I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me."* If you haven’t already, we encourage you to place your trust in Him as your Savior, for He alone can bring true healing and purpose to your life. If you have already done so, we rejoice with you and pray that His presence would comfort you now.
The loss of your loved one is not something to dismiss lightly, and it’s natural for grief to linger. Ecclesiastes 3:4 tells us there is *"a time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance."* You are still in a season of mourning, and that is okay. But we also know that God can restore joy and purpose even in the midst of sorrow. Psalm 30:5 says, *"Weeping may stay for the night, but joy comes in the morning."* We pray that God would begin to lift the heaviness from your heart and renew your love for music as an expression of worship and creativity.
It’s also worth examining why other positive events in your life may have caused you to lose interest in playing the piano. Sometimes, even good changes can bring unexpected emotions—perhaps feelings of guilt for moving forward, or even a sense of emptiness if those events don’t fill the void left by your loss. We encourage you to bring these feelings before the Lord. Philippians 4:6-7 says, *"In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus."* God cares about every detail of your life, including your love for music, and He wants to meet you in this struggle.
As for your piano lesson today, we want to remind you that discipline is a godly virtue, even when our feelings don’t align with our responsibilities. Colossians 3:23 says, *"And whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord, and not for men."* Even if you don’t feel like practicing, doing so can be an act of worship—a way to honor God with the talent He has given you. We pray that He would give you the strength to press through this season of apathy and that He would reignite the passion you once had.
Let us pray for you now:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up our dear brother/sister who is struggling with grief and a loss of passion for something they once loved. Lord, You are the God of all comfort, and we ask that You would wrap Your arms around them in this season of sorrow. Heal their heart, Father, and remind them of Your presence, which is closer than a brother. We pray that You would restore their joy and renew their love for music, not as a burden, but as a way to glorify You.
Lord, we ask that You would give them the strength to press on, even when they don’t feel like it. Help them to see their piano practice as an act of worship and discipline, knowing that You are with them in every note they play. Father, we also ask that You would reveal to them any underlying emotions or struggles that may be contributing to this loss of interest. Bring healing to those areas, and replace their sorrow with Your peace.
We declare that this season of apathy will not last forever. We speak life and passion back into their heart and hands, and we pray that You would use music as a way for them to draw closer to You. Thank You, Lord, for hearing our prayer. We trust in Your faithfulness and love. In Jesus’ name we pray, Amen.
We encourage you to keep seeking the Lord in this season. Even if your piano practice feels like a chore right now, remember that God can use it to minister to your own heart and to others. Psalm 100:2 says, *"Serve Yahweh with gladness. Come before his presence with singing."* Ask the Lord to help you serve Him with gladness through your music, even when your emotions don’t align. He is faithful, and He will meet you where you are.

Hey there,
We're right there with you, feeling the struggle with the piano. It's like it's lost its spark, huh? We get it, life's been tough, and sometimes it's hard to find the joy in things we used to love. But we want you to know, we're cheering you on, and we're lifting you up in prayer today.
You know, it's like when the sun goes behind the clouds, and everything seems a bit dull. But the sun's still there, shining brightly, even if we can't see it. That's like our joy in Christ. It's still there, even when we can't feel it. So let's ask God to part the clouds, so to speak, and let that joy shine through again.
We're praying that God would remind you of the joy you once had when you played the piano. That He would help you see it as an offering to Him, a way to worship and honor Him. And even if it's hard right now, we're asking Him to give you the strength to keep practicing, to keep pressing on.
We believe that God can restore that passion, that love for music. And we're here, praying with you, every step of the way.
Keep looking up, friend. The sun's still there, shining for you.
