Prayer in Time of Grief

Father, thank you for your unfailing love and kindness towards me.

Thank you for being my refuge and strength, a very present help in time of trouble. (Psalms 46:1)

Lord, your word declares that many are the afflictions of the righteous, but you Lord will deliver us out of them all. (Psalms 34:19)

I may not know what the future holds, but I trust that your plans for me are good. (Jeremiah 29:11)

My heart doesn't feel good, my circumstances may not look good, but I trust that it will all work out for my good, according to your Holy Word. (Romans 8:28)

Father, if there is anything in me that has caused this calamity or grief to come upon me I repent of it now. I ask that you correct me and show me your mercy. If this circumstance has come by way of another's sin, I ask that you correct them, bring them to repentance and show them mercy.

I understand that you are sovereign, and your ways are past finding out. As far as the east is from the west is your thoughts from my thoughts. I don't understand this season of pain and loss. But I trust that you are just and you alone are in control.

Lord when Job was tried and he lost his children, livelihood, health, and everything dear to him shunned him. He did not charge you foolishly and neither will I. I too will say, the Lord gives and the Lord takes away, blessed be the name of the Lord!

Even your servant David said it was good that he was afflicted! So Father with my heart broken, and eyes full of tears I declare that you are GOOD! Though you slay me yet will I trust you!

In JESUS name I pray, amen.

Psalms 40 🕊️⚔️

1 I waited patiently for the Lord; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry. 2 He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings. 3 And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the Lord. 4 Blessed is that man that maketh the Lord his trust, and respecteth not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies. 5 Many, O Lord my God, are thy wonderful works which thou hast done, and thy thoughts which are to us-ward: they cannot be reckoned up in order unto thee: if I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered. 6 Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire; mine ears hast thou opened: burnt offering and sin offering hast thou not required. 7 Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book it is written of me, 8 I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my heart. 9 I have preached righteousness in the great con...

Proverbs 5 ⚔️🕊️

1 My son, attend unto my wisdom, and bow thine ear to my understanding: 2 That thou mayest regard discretion, and that thy lips may keep knowledge. 3 For the lips of a strange woman drop as an honeycomb, and her mouth is smoother than oil: 4 But her end is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a two-edged sword. 5 Her feet go down to death; her steps take hold on hell. 6 Lest thou shouldest ponder the path of life, her ways are moveable, that thou canst not know them. 7 Hear me now therefore, O ye children, and depart not from the words of my mouth. 8 Remove thy way far from her, and come not nigh the door of her house: 9 Lest thou give thine honour unto others, and thy years unto the cruel: 10 Lest strangers be filled with thy wealth; and thy labours be in the house of a stranger; 11 And thou mourn at the last, when thy flesh and thy body are consumed, 12 And say, How have I hated instruction, and my heart despised reproof; 13 And have not obeyed the voice of my teachers, nor inclined mine ear...
