“The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.”
Psalm 34:18, NIV
Dear God,
We are going through hard times that make us sad, and we need to feel better. We hope that you can hug us and make us feel safe. Please turn our sadness into a way to feel better and be happy again.
Help us understand that there is happiness beyond our sadness. Show us the joy forever. Be with us in hard times and guide us to find hope. Give us strength when things are tough. Help us know your promise of forever happiness.
Help us think and feel clearly as we go through hard times. Show us the right way with your truth. Remind us that no pain is useless and that your love is for everyone.
We believe that you have a special plan for us. We know that hard times help us grow. When we cry, your love makes us feel better. Help us to keep believing in you and always hoping for good things. Help us to see your good works around us.
Thank you, Father, for your never ending love and kindness. We are happy for the good things Jesus has done. We wait with smiles for your good promises to come true.
In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
