Prayer to Seek God for Comfort
 
Heavenly Father,
 
In the midst of our sorrow and pain, we come before you, seeking your comfort and peace. You are the God of all comfort, and we trust in your unfailing love to sustain us in our time of grief.
 
Lord, you know the depth of our sorrow and the ache in our hearts. We bring before you all the pain, confusion, and questions that come with loss. Help us to trust in your goodness and sovereignty, even when we don't understand.
 
We thank you for the life of our loved one who has passed away. They were a precious gift to us, and we are grateful for the time we had with them. May their memory be a blessing to us and to all who knew them.
 
Father, we ask for your healing touch to come upon us. Comfort us with the assurance of your presence, and give us the strength to walk through this valley of grief. Help us to lean on you and on one another for support and encouragement.
 
Lord, in the midst of our pain, we cling to the hope we have in Jesus Christ. We know that because of his death and resurrection, we have the promise of eternal life with you. May this hope sustain us and give us peace in the midst of our sorrow.
 
We commit ourselves into your hands, Lord, trusting that you will carry us through this time of grief. Help us to find solace in your presence and to experience your peace that surpasses all understanding.
 
In Jesus' name we pray,
Amen.
