COMFORT FOR A PERSON WHO HAS LOST
A CHRISTIAN LOVED ONE
Replace blanks with person’s name that has experienced a loss
Father, I thank you that we have a High Priest who is able to understand and sympathize and
have a fellow feeling with ’s weaknesses and infirmities (grief over the
loss of his/her loved one). Therefore, I fearlessly and confidently and boldly draw near to the
throne of grace that may receive mercy and find grace to help in good time for
every need – appropriate and well-timed help, coming just when needs it.
Father, I thank you that does not sorrow, as one who has no hope,
because he/she believes that Jesus died and rose again; even so his/her loved one also who sleeps
in Jesus will God bring back with him. I ask that you comfort , for you said,
Blessed are they that mourn, for they shall be comforted (Matthew 5:4).
Jesus, you have come to heal the brokenhearted. It is in the name of Jesus that You, Father,
comfort because you have loved him/her and have given him/her
everlasting consolation and good hope through grace.
Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of
all comfort; Who comforts in all his/her tribulation, that he/she may be
able to comfort those which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith he himself/she herself
is comforted by God.
Father, thank you for appointing unto who mourns in Zion, to give unto
him/her beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of
heaviness; that he/she might be called a tree of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that you
might be glorified.
In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
