Father, I come to You with a heart that aches.
Lord, draw near to every person carrying grief today. Hold us close in the places where words cannot reach. Do not let us feel pressured to hurry through sorrow or hide our tears. Be present in the silence, the memories, and the ache that returns unexpectedly.
Gently tend what is wounded within us. Give us grace for this day and quiet hope that does not deny our loss. When our hearts feel crushed, remind us that Your nearness is not absent from our pain.
“The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” ( Psalm 34:18)
