In Times of Loss

Gracious God,

I lift up to you those who have recently suffered loss in their life. To those who have had loved ones die, become a presence of consolation in their grief. To those who have suffered physical loss, through accidents or violence or disease, become a presence of healing and comfort. To those who have lost jobs or possessions or peace of mind, grant a presence of endurance. And to me, as I have known loss too, grant me your presence, that I might recognize the wholeness that is in you, O Lord.

Amen
