Prayers for Comfort

Comfort Prayer For The Abandoned

Almighty God, You know everything that happens in our life, and You understand how difficult it is when someone you love has gone and left you all alone.

Jesus, I am in that position right now, and I dread the thought of having to face the future all alone, without the support of the one that was closest to me.

Please wrap Your arms of protection and comfort around me at this time and help me not to become bitter and depressed, but rather to use this as an opportunity to learn the lesson that You would have me to learn.

Father, keep me from an attitude of resentment but rather look down in pity on the one that has left me. I pray that in Your grace You would draw them into a right relationship with Yourself.

Thank You, Father, for always being there even when others are not. Help me not to be carless with the feelings of others, but rather to show the love of Jesus in all I do. In Jesus' name I pray,

Amen.

Prayer Of Comfort For A Dying Mother

Dear Lord Jesus, my mother is getting increasingly frail and weak and it is distressing to see her becoming so infirm and helpless. Comfort her I pray, as she lies on her bed of sickness, and give her Your perfect peace in her heart.

I ask that You would send comfort and support to all those that love You, and may this time of illness be a time that draws each member of the family back into a closer walk with Jesus.

Thank You for my mother and for all that she means to me. I ask that You comfort my heart too, and give me the strength to care for her as she waits to be called home to be with You in glory. Thank You, in Jesus' name,

Amen.

Loving Father, I lift up these parents who have so recently lost their precious child. You understand the grief that they are going through, because Your own dear Son was crucified and died on the cross.

You are our gracious God of Comfort and You understand our grief and sadness in a way that is beyond our comprehension. Comfort the heart of these parents I pray, as they mourn the loss of their child. Fill them with Your peace and hope. Thank You that underneath them are Your everlasting arms which are always there to hold and support and comfort.

Use me I pray, to be a comfort and help in their time of trouble. Please give me the right things to say to them, and the wisdom to know when to remain silent. Give them a deep awareness of Your presence that is with them every moment of the day. Draw them closer to each other and to You. In Jesus' name,

Amen.

Father, I am Your child and I place my life anew into Your hands. I ask that You grant me the grace to foster a loving heart of forgiveness, the comfort to still my anxious heart and the strength to keep on keeping on through this sad and difficult time of divorce.

Strengthen my heart I pray, and enable me to get on with my life with You at the helm of my little boat. Give me wisdom to trust You to beautify my inner heart, so that it does not harbor any bitterness or jealousy.

Comfort For The Sinner Saved By Grace

Dear God, I know that I have fallen into deep sin. I have sinned against You and discredited Your holy name. I confess that I have done wrong, and I come to You empty handed and in poverty of spirit, knowing that my comfort and peace can only come from You.

Thank You for Your promise that if I come to You and confess all my wrongdoings and sins, You have promised to forgive me and cleanse all my unrighteousness. Thank You, that the blood of Jesus is the cleansing flood that has washed all my sins away, and thank You that when I confess my sins You have promised to restore me into sweet fellowship with Yourself and wash me entirely clean.

Thank You that I am a sinner saved by grace and that my eternal security is dependent of the work of Christ on the cross and not on me. I pray this in Jesus' precious name,

Amen.
