Full Text
Father, I lift before You all who are grieving today — those who have lost a parent, a child, a spouse, a friend. Those whose grief is fresh and those whose grief is old and still unhealed. Be the Comforter You have promised to be. Send Your people to sit with them in their pain. Let them know that they are not alone, that their loved one is not forgotten, and that You are near.
Scripture References
Matthew 5:4
"Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted."
