In Time of Loss

Loving God,

You have blessed me with loving family and friends, whom I treasure. But you have called some of them home, which has left a feeling of emptiness in part of my life. Comfort my grief, and counsel it, that I might increase in faith even as I feel loss. Open me up to the depth of my emotions, that I might lay them before you, O Lord, and find healing in your presence.

Amen
