God With You

I bless you O God,

King of the universe,

the one true judge,

in my grief,

when the way is dark,

I bless your name,

remembering that your glory shines

high above the heavens,

and that your light will break through

the heavy clouds overhead,

I bless you O God

for your presence with me,

sweet comfort alongside my mourning,

hope guiding through pain,

strength covering my weakness,

your love finding me in my darkest moments,

and transforming me through grace.

I bless your precious name,

Amen.

Bless You Friend

Bless you sister and brother,

reading this prayer post,

and the beautiful reflection of the Creator that you are,

perfect in your form, shape, personality, strengths, and gifts,

beloved and lovely in your limitations, weakness, and failures.

You are made for a purpose,

Your life is needed,

You have a call,

Though you may have been tested for a time,

Yeshua knows you and loves you,

and has overcome all your sin, shame, pride, humiliation, and embarrassment,

He’s overcome all your demons and torment,

Greater is He within you, than he who’s in the world.

Your life is in His hands,

and He is the author and perfecter of your faith,

No weapon forged against you shall prevail,

and He is the lifter of your head.

You are free, you have overcome, and you are more than a conqueror

in Messiah, who died for you, was buried, and was resurrected

to the right hand of God seated up in heaven.

May there be no limits to your faith, hope, and joy,

May His peace abide in you and His love secure you,

to simply be you today, beloved by Him.

Amen.

A Prayer For Grief

Father God

You know me.

You knew all along

that my striving, trying, reaching, grasping

was my running away from all the pain.

Please help me to stop,

and hear your voice that’s been calling me all along.

To rest, to be, and be comforted by you.

That I’m enough in my grief and sadness

that my confusion doesn’t overwhelm you.

That you haven’t moved on when others do,

and you’re not scared by my questions and cries.

Give me words to express pain I have no words for,

show me how to grieve because I’ve never been taught how.

Father you gave your Son for me,

your heart has never stopped pursuing me.

Please help me just to come,

exactly as I am and where I’m at.

I’m broken, numb, and scared

and Father, I trust you that you’ll get me through.

Amen.
