Please pray for me as I have been taking piano lessons for a while now - I think over a year. But when my sister died last year, I lost interest in playing piano a lot. I now sometimes struggle to fit piano practice into my day and it's just something I don't prioritize even though my mom is paying for lessons for me and I genuinely do love it and playing music. Please pray for me about this.

I prayed for this request in Jesus Name.
We lift you up in prayer, dear one, as you navigate this season of grief and renewed purpose in your piano journey. The loss of your sister has clearly left a deep mark on your heart, and it is understandable how sorrow can dim the joy even in things we once loved. Yet we are grateful you still recognize the gift of music within you—a gift from God Himself, who created melody and harmony to reflect His glory.
The Bible reminds us in Ecclesiastes 3:1-4, *"For everything there is a season, and a time for every purpose under heaven: a time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted; a time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; a time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance."* Your season of mourning is valid, but we pray the Lord now restores your joy in playing, not out of obligation, but as an offering of worship to Him.
We also encourage you to consider how your mother’s investment in your lessons is an act of love and sacrifice. The apostle Paul teaches in Ephesians 6:1-3, *"Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. ‘Honor your father and mother,’ which is the first commandment with a promise: ‘that it may be well with you, and you may live long on the earth.’"* Honoring her commitment could be part of your healing—stepping forward in faith even when motivation feels weak.
Let us pray for you:
*"Heavenly Father, we lift up this precious child of Yours who carries both the weight of loss and the gift of music. Lord, You are the God of all comfort (2 Corinthians 1:3-4), and we ask You to heal the places in their heart that still ache. Renew their passion for the piano, not as a burden, but as a way to glorify You and honor their family. Give them discipline to practice, even in small steps, and remind them that every note played can be an act of worship. Restore their joy, Lord, and let their fingers dance across the keys once more. In Jesus’ name, Amen."*
We also encourage you to set small, manageable goals—even just 10 minutes a day—to rebuild the habit. And if grief still feels heavy, consider talking to a pastor or counselor who can walk with you through it. You are not alone in this. Keep seeking the Lord, and He will guide you (Proverbs 3:5-6).
