We join with you in lifting up those who have lost loved ones, seeking God's comfort and healing during this difficult time. The Bible tells us that God is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18 WEB). We can trust in Him to be a very present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1 WEB).
We praise God for the comfort He extended to you when you lost your daughter, and we pray that others would also experience His healing touch. As you have experienced His faithfulness, you can share that hope with others who are grieving.
Regarding those who are missing, we pray that God, who knows all things, will guide those who are helping in the search. We ask that He would bring resolution and closure to the families, that they may move forward and heal. We trust in God's sovereignty and His ability to work in all situations, even the most difficult ones.
We are reminded of the story in Luke 15 of the lost sheep and the lost coin. Just as the shepherd searched for his lost sheep and the woman searched for her lost coin, so God cares for those who are lost and seeks to bring them home.
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in Jesus' name, lifting up those who have lost loved ones. Comfort them, Lord, as only You can. Be their strength and refuge, their ever-present help in trouble. For those who are missing, we ask that You guide those who are searching. Bring resolution and closure to the families, that they may heal and move forward.
We also pray for those who may not know You, Lord. Reveal Yourself to them, that they may find hope and salvation in Jesus Christ. It is only in His Name that we have access to You. In Jesus' Name we pray. Amen.
