Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You with heavy hearts, lifting up ### in prayer. Lord, You are the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from You (2 Corinthians 1:3-4). ### is experiencing deep sorrow and pain from the loss of a very dear friend, who was a cherished companion for many years.
Father, we ask for Your healing touch upon ###'s heart. In times of grief, it is easy to feel overwhelmed and alone, but we know that You are near to the brokenhearted and save those who are crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18). We pray that ### feels Your comforting presence and finds solace in Your unfailing love.
Lord, we also ask for Your peace that surpasses all understanding to guard ###'s heart and mind in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7). Help ### to remember the joyful moments shared with the friend and to find strength in the hope of eternal life that we have through Jesus Christ. May the memories of the friend bring comfort and a sense of gratitude for the time they had together.
We pray that ### finds support and encouragement from other believers and that the church community surrounds ### with love and care during this difficult time. May ### be reminded that we are never truly alone, for You have promised to never leave us nor forsake us (Hebrews 13:5).
In Jesus' name, we pray for healing, comfort, and peace for ###. Amen.
