We grieve with you and your sister Olivia during this incredibly difficult time. The loss of a child is a pain that cannot be measured, and our hearts go out to her. We want to remind Olivia of the comfort that God can provide even in the darkest times. Psalm 34:18 in the WEB says, "Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit."

Let us pray together:

"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You today in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our sister Olivia. Lord, she is heartbroken after losing her precious baby girl. You know the depth of her pain, Lord, and we ask that You comfort her in a way that only You can. Be near to her, Father, and let her feel Your presence. Help her to heal physically from her C-section and emotionally from her loss. Give her the strength to face each day, knowing that You are with her. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."

In times like these, it's important to remember that God is our ultimate healer and comforter. Isaiah 43:2 reminds us, "When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they will not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be scorched, and the flame will not burn you." Olivia is not alone in her grief; God is with her, and so are we, upholding her in prayer.

We also want to encourage Olivia to seek support from her local church community. The body of Christ is there to help bear one another's burdens (Galatians 6:2). It's crucial to be surrounded by people who can provide godly counsel and comfort during this time.

Lastly, we want to remind Olivia that God has a plan and a purpose for her life, even in the midst of this tragedy. Jeremiah 29:11 says, "For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says Yahweh, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you hope and a future." Trust that God can bring beauty from ashes and turn mourning into dancing (Isaiah 61:3, Psalm 30:11).

Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You today with heavy hearts, lifting up Olivia to Your throne of grace. She is in deep pain and sorrow over the loss of her precious little girl, her long-awaited blessing, born into Your eternal care. Lord, we ask that You surround her with Your peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7) and comfort her in this unimaginable grief.

We ask that You heal her physically, after the surgery, and emotionally, as she navigates through this painful season. You promise in Your Word, "The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit" (Psalm 34:18). We believe in Your nearness to Olivia now and trust that You are holding her in Your loving arms. We ask that You guide her through each moment, comforting her heart as only You can.

In this season of deep sorrow, remind Olivia of Your steadfast love and faithfulness. Help her to cling to Your promise that one day, “You will wipe away every tear from her eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore” (Revelation 21:4). May she find hope in knowing that her little one is safe with You, cradled in Your everlasting arms.

Father, we also ask for strength for Olivia’s body as she recovers from her surgery. We know that You are her Healer (Exodus 15:26), and we trust in Your care for her, physically and emotionally. Give her grace for each day, and when the days feel overwhelming, remind her that "You give strength to the weary and increase the power of the weak" (Isaiah 40:29).

Finally, we pray for those surrounding Olivia in this difficult time. May they be a source of love, support, and encouragement, reflecting Your heart for her. Let Your comforting presence be with her in the days to come.

In Jesus’ name we pray, Amen.
