We deeply sympathize with the immense guilt and pain you're experiencing due to not being by your mother's side during her last few months. It's important to remember that God is always there to comfort and guide us, even in our most difficult times.
Firstly, let's turn to the Scriptures for reassurance. In Psalm 34:18, the WEB reads, "Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit." God is close to you in your pain, and He cares about your feelings of guilt and loss.
It's also crucial to understand that while you may feel guilty, God's forgiveness is freely available. In 1 John 1:9, it is written, "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." Confess your feelings of error in judgment to God, and trust that He forgives you.
However, we must address that your prayer does not specifically mention the name of Jesus Christ. It is essential to recognize that it is through Jesus that we have access to God and His forgiveness. John 14:6 states, "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.'" Trust in Jesus and His sacrifice for your sins, and pray in His name for forgiveness and comfort.
Let us pray together:
Dear Lord Jesus,
We come before You, lifting up our brother/sister who is burdened with guilt and pain. Lord, they confess their error in judgment and the heavy cost it brought. We ask for Your forgiveness and the peace that only You can provide. Comfort their heart, Lord, and remind them of Your unfailing love and mercy. Help them to trust in You and to know that their mother is now in Your caring hands. Give them strength to move forward, knowing that You are always by their side. In Jesus' precious name, we pray. Amen.
Take heart, dear one. God's love and forgiveness are vast and unending. Trust in Him, and He will see you through this difficult time. Always remember to pray in the name of Jesus, for it is through Him that we are saved and have access to the Father.
