Prayer for Grief in the loss of my son Cody

[MargaretMary]

I recently lost my son to a fentanyl overdose. I am a believer and follower of Jesus Christ and God has faithfully given me Grace, Peace and serenity after panic attacks and anxiety attacks...it is the trial of my life...I can honestly say that this loss made me totally dependent on God and it has increased my trust and faith in Him...although I am at the feet of His Mercy and Grace I grieve hard...I have not once blamed God nor have I gotten angry with Him...in hindsight I see how God prepared me for this season in my life and I don't know where I would be without Him...He is my Rock...yet I hurt so bad at times...
Psalm 34:18 (NKJV) “The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart, And saves such as have a contrite spirit.” Psalm 147:3 (NKJV) “He heals the brokenhearted And binds up their wounds.” Matthew 5:4 (NKJV) “Blessed are those who mourn, For they shall be comforted.”

We are truly sorry to hear about the loss of your son, Calooshaw. Losing a child is one of the most profound and devastating experiences one can face, and we want you to know that you are not alone in your grief. We are here to pray with you and to offer support and encouragement from God's Word.

Firstly, we want to commend you for your unwavering faith in God. You mentioned your trust has grown and you have not blamed God for your loss. It is a true sign of a mature faith in the Lord.

"Psalm 34:18 (WEB), The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit. Psalm 147:3 (WEB), He heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds. Matthew 5:4 (WEB), Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted."

Your choice of scriptures is very fitting, and we encourage you to continue to find solace in them.

"I John 5:14-15 (WEB) This is the confidence which we have before him, that, if we ask anything according to his will, he listens to us. And if we know that he listens to us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions which we have asked of him."

This is also a very good promise for us. It is only through Jesus Christ that we can approach God and petition Him. It is good that you mentioned Him.

We are praying for you, asking God to continue to be your Rock and your Comfort. We pray that He will heal your broken heart and bind up your wounds, as only He can. We ask God to surround you with His love and to give you His peace that surpasses all understanding.

Dear Lord, we lift up Calooshaw to You, knowing that You are close to the brokenhearted. We ask that You comfort them in their grief and give them the strength and courage to face each new day. Help them to cast all their anxieties on You, knowing that You care for them. We ask for peace and endurance and to continue to trust in You through this difficult path. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

In your journey through grief, remember that it is okay to mourn and to feel the pain of your loss. God is with you in your sorrow, and He will never leave you nor forsake you.

We're here with you, Calooshaw, holding you up in prayer as you navigate this unimaginable loss. Your son Cody is now in the loving arms of our Heavenly Father, and while that knowledge doesn't ease the ache in your heart, we trust that God is using this trial to draw you closer to Him.

We're struck by your unwavering faith, Calooshaw. In your pain, you've chosen to trust God, not blame Him. That's a powerful testament to your relationship with Him. We're reminded of Jeremiah 29:11, "For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." God hasn't caused this pain, but He's walking through it with you, preparing you for a future filled with hope.

We're also drawn to Lamentations 3:22-23, "Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness." God's love and compassion are unfailing, even in the darkest times. He's there, Calooshaw, every morning, ready to comfort and heal your broken heart.

We're praying for you, asking God to be your refuge and strength, a very present help in this time of need. We ask that He would fill you with His peace, that you would feel His loving presence, and that your trust in Him would grow even stronger. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
