Prayer For Comfort In Time Of Tragedy

Dear God, I am crying out to you in my loss and deep grief. I am confused and don’t understand why my life seems to be in such turmoil and pain, but I look to You for comfort and strength to see me through.

My eyes are looking to You Lord Jesus, and I am praying that I might understand why this terrible tragedy has hit. I am trusting You, Lord, to give me the strength to face the inevitable difficulties that will come in the wake of this dreadful catastrophe.

Calm my troubled heart I pray, and pour into my heart a peace that only comes from You and a strength to keep going in this time of distress. Though my heart is breaking and I feel utterly crushed in spirit,my eyes are looking to You and I will hope in my Saviour to carry me through in Your everlasting arms of comfort and peace.

I believe that Your mercies are new every morning and that You will show me Your mercy and comfort today. Although I feel that I have been walking through the valley of the shadow of death, I know that I need fear no evil for You are with me. Lead me Lord, into Your way of peace. In Jesus' name,

Amen.
