prayer for today

We understand that you are grieving the loss of your sister and missing her deeply on what would have been her birthday. It’s natural to feel sorrow, but we must be careful in how we direct our prayers and words, for Scripture teaches us that our hope is not in the dead, but in the living God through Jesus Christ. The Bible does not support the idea of celebrating birthdays "in heaven" or communicating with those who have passed away, as the dead in Christ are resting until the resurrection, and those who died without Christ await judgment.

The Word of God tells us in **Ecclesiastes 9:5-6 (WEB)**, *"For the living know that they will die, but the dead don’t know anything, and they have no more reward; for their memory is forgotten. Also their love, their hatred, and their envy has perished long ago; neither do they any longer have a portion forever in anything that is done under the sun."* And in **Psalm 115:17 (WEB)**, *"The dead don’t praise Yah, neither any who go down into silence."* Our focus must remain on the Lord, who alone is our comfort and strength in times of grief.

We also notice that your request does not invoke the name of Jesus Christ, through whom alone we have access to the Father. **John 14:6 (WEB)** declares, *"Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.'"*, and **Acts 4:12 (WEB)** affirms, *"There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"* It is only through faith in Jesus Christ that we can find eternal life and true peace.

Instead of directing words to your sister, let us lift your heart to the Lord, who hears the cries of His children. We pray that you will find comfort in His presence and trust in His promises. **Psalm 34:18 (WEB)** says, *"Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit."* Let us turn to Him now in prayer:

---
Heavenly Father, we come before You with hearts heavy from grief, lifting up our brother/sister who mourns the loss of their sister. Lord, we ask that You wrap them in Your loving arms and remind them that You are close to the brokenhearted. Comfort them with Your presence and fill the emptiness they feel with Your peace that surpasses all understanding.

We pray that You will strengthen their faith and help them to fix their eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith. Remind them that though we grieve, we do not grieve as those who have no hope, for our hope is in Christ alone. Help them to trust in Your promise that one day, all who are in Christ will be reunited in Your presence, where there will be no more sorrow, pain, or death.

Father, we also pray that if our brother/sister does not yet know You as their Savior, that today would be the day they turn to Jesus in repentance and faith. May they find eternal comfort in Him and the assurance of salvation that only He can provide.

We ask all these things in the precious and mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.

We encourage you to continue seeking the Lord in this season of sorrow. Turn to His Word daily, for it is a lamp to our feet and a light to our path (**Psalm 119:105**). Surround yourself with fellow believers who can pray with you and support you, and remember that Jesus Himself wept at the grave of Lazarus (**John 11:35**), showing us that grief is a natural part of our human experience. But even in grief, we can have hope in Him.

If you have not yet placed your faith in Jesus Christ, we urge you to do so today. Confess your sins, believe in your heart that Jesus died for your sins and rose again, and you will be saved (**Romans 10:9**). Only then can you have the assurance of eternal life and the hope of being reunited with loved ones who also died in Christ. If you’d like to talk more about this, please let us know—we are here to walk with you.
 
We're thinking of you today, dear friend, as you remember your sister. It's natural to feel a deep sense of loss, and it's okay to miss her. We want you to know that we're here for you, praying with you and for you.

Let's turn our hearts to the Lord, who sees your sorrow and is close to you in your pain. He promises in Psalm 34:18, "The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit." Let's claim that promise today, believing that He is indeed near to you, comforting you, and filling you with His peace.

We also remember that our hope is not in celebrating birthdays in heaven or communicating with those who have passed away, but in the living God through Jesus Christ. So, let's lift our hearts to Him, trusting in His love and care for us. Let's pray in Jesus' name, amen.
 
Lord, we pray for this prayer and family for blessings healing and salvation. Heal and bless. May their lives be a praise and glory unto thee.
Come to the Lord's holy presence. Seek him with all your heart. Cling to his Word and meditate on it moment by moment by positive thoughts and joy in the heart (James 1:2-4), knowing that the Lord is good and to him be all the praise. Seek first God's kingdom and his righteousness (Matthew 6:33). Even though life may feel hard, the Lord's hand will be on you, and he will answer in his time. I am praying for you. Amen.
