Feeling Grief Stricken or Inconsolable

"The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit."

Psalm 34:18

Dear Father, we come before you with hearts full of thanksgiving. God, we are grateful you care about us when we are sad and brokenhearted. Your holy scripture comforts us when we are low in spirit and feeling defeated. Help us to keep our minds on you and your love for us. We pray for our sisters and brothers who are struggling. Please guide us to show kindness and understanding to them. We desire to be what you desire us to be. All these blessings we ask in the holy, righteous and loving name of Jesus Christ, Amen!
