Prayer in Time of Bereavement
Lord, you are close to the broken-hearted.
Be with me now in my grief and loneliness.
Give the courage to face my loss and not
to grieve in silence. Be with me as I struggle
with many different and painful feelings.
Ease the hurt in heart.
Encircle me in your love.
Help me to believe that one day I will no longer have this deep sorrow. May I find comfort in sharing my grief with those who understand me and the pain of my grief. Stay with me, support me. Help me to know that your power is at work within me as I deal with my grief. Amen.
