Heavenly Father,

In the quiet hours of grief, where sorrow seeks to overwhelm our hearts, let us find refuge in Your presence. “The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit” (Psalm 34:18). May this truth bring comfort to our aching souls, reminding us that we are never alone in our suffering. Grant us the peace that transcends understanding, a peace that guards our hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. Help us to lean on Your everlasting arms, finding rest and reassurance in Your unfailing love.

In Your tender mercy, we seek solace, Amen.

Prayer for Strength in Weakness

Gracious God,

As the years advance and our strength wanes, we are reminded of Your power made perfect in our weakness. “But he said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.’ Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me” (2 Corinthians 12:9). In our frailty, let Your strength be our cornerstone. Empower us to face each day with grace, knowing that in every moment of weakness, Your grace is more than enough. May we find joy in the journey, celebrating each step taken in Your strength, not ours.

In Your mighty power, we find our strength, Amen.
