To Remember That You’re in Control

Mighty God,
No matter what I’m dealing with right now, Lord, I can always use the reminder that everything is going to be OK. As a believer, I know that you hold me in the palm of your hand, that you work out everything – good and bad – for my benefit, and that I will never face anything alone. With this confidence, help me to live in faith, not fear. Equip me to win my battles against worry, remembering that there is no harm or danger that can ever separate me from you and your love. The certainty of my salvation is my security and the source of my strength. Let me rest in your peace and find comfort in knowing that neither you nor those who are yours will ever come to ruin at the hands of the evil one.

In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.

To Help Me Comfort the Grieving

God of All Comfort,
Through the death and resurrection of Jesus, and the promise of eternal life for all who believe, you hold the key to comfort for all who are grieving the loss of a loved one. While death may turn our lives upside down when it happens, whether expected or not, you overcame it and offer hope to all who face it. I pray that any experiencing that heavy burden of the death of someone close to them may find comfort in you as they mourn. 

It can be difficult to know how to comfort and console the grieving in those situations. It can make me feel uncomfortable. I struggle to find the right words. I worry about saying the wrong things. At those times, give me a rich measure of your Spirit so that my words and actions deliver the help and healing that I desire to offer. Guide me in pointing others to your powerful promises of salvation, eternal life, and our heavenly home for all who fall asleep in Jesus. When those who died were not believers, provide me with words of encouragement that still hold true for their living loved ones, so that they may know and believe before their own time of grace on earth concludes. Let my confidence in comforting the grieving be based not on my own merit or ability, but on the rock-solid certainty of your Word.

In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
