A prayer for those who are grieving.
Almighty God, I pray for all who are grieving the loss of loved one, especially those killed in conflicts and accidents while serving their country and in defending people’s rights to live in peace.
I pray that the bravery of their loved one may bring a measure of comfort to those devastated by their loss. I ask that You will unite families in their grief and enable parents, brothers and sisters, children and the wider family to support one another.
Most importantly, Father, I ask that You will draw them to Yourself so that they might find, in You, the comfort and strength and peace which You alone can provide. Please keep them close to You as they journey through the dark valley of grief.
In Jesus name.
AMEN.
