Prayer for those who grieve

Father,
Sometimes I cannot comprehend or understand why bad things happen.
The pain is so bad and we feel far from you.
Help us to have faith,  to love like jesus,
to be led to you to take our pain, our fear our sorrow to you,
to show us that you are a God of love,

For our pain is not healing by asking why, or in reason,
But in your wisdom and love where we find refuge.
Lead all who grieve to your comfort,
Lead all who are weak and in pain to you,
that  at your feet we lay our sorrow,
So you may touch us with your grace, mercy, comfort and love
and release us from grief through your love.

Almighty father we ask this in the name of your son Jesus,
who died for us, and rose again to eternal life in your glory.



Amen
