Lord,
Many hearts are suffering
the loss of a loved one.
Bless and soothe each grieving soul
before the day is done.
Immerse them in Your goodness,
embrace them in Your peace,
bring them to a tranquil place
and make the hurting cease.
Relieve them of their sorrow
and in the days ahead
comfort them with mercy, Lord,
and keep their spirits fed.
Hold them in Your arms, dear God,
and wipe their tears away.
Please let them know their loved one
is in Your care each day.
"The LORD is nigh
unto them that are of a broken heart;
and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit."
(Psalm 34:18, KJV)
