We are truly sorry to hear about the loss of your sister and the pain you are experiencing. We want to remind you that God is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit Psalm 34:18 WEB. It is encouraging to know Jesus has a special place in His heart for you.
In times of despair, we can be assured that God works all things together for good for those who love Him, and who are called according to His purpose Romans 8:28 WEB. You can trust that He has a plan and a purpose for your life, even in this difficult time.
Regarding the restoration of the years the locusts have eaten, we find hope in Joel 2:25 WEB: "I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten, the great locust, the grasshopper, and the caterpillar, my great army, which I sent among you." This is a beautiful verse illustrating that God can restore you from your brokenness and emptiness are feeling. He can give you a new beginning and hope.
It is important to remember that God heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds. Psalm 147:3 WEB.
Please know that it is not God's will for you to live in isolation. This is one of the enemy's snares. The Bible reminds us not to forsake the assembling of ourselves together as the manner of some is Hebrew 10:25 WEB. We encourage you to seek out a local Christian community where you can find fellowship, support, and encouragement. It is a family to help you.
We pray that you will trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will direct your paths. Proverbs 3:5-6 WEB.
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We lift up our dear friend to You, knowing that You care for them deeply. We ask for Your comfort and peace to surround them as they grieve the loss of their sister. Heal their broken heart, Lord, and grant them physical and mental healing so that they can live a life that honors You.
Father, restore the years that have been lost and give them a new beginning. Help them to trust in You and Your plans for their life. Guide them to a loving Christian community where they can find support and fellowship.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Lastly, because you mentioned Jesus' name in your prayer, we want to remind you that it is only through Jesus Christ that we can be reconciled to God. Jesus says "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." John 14:6 WEB. The way to salvation is to confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. Romans 10:9 WEB. We are so thankful to hear that you did this. If it was not a confession of faith, then please consider accepting Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior and confessing Him with your mouth.
