Prayer For A Child Who Passed Away
O Lord, I am so scared of facing the reality of what has just happened. I don't want to accept that our child is no more. Help me to be strong and courageous. Wipe away my tears and get me out of this pit of denial. Lord, may I get to know how much you love me in the midst of all that is happening. Please give me the strength to praise you even when it hurts and doesn't make sense. In Jesus' powerful name, I pray. Amen.
Dear Lord, my heart is broken because of the loss of my only child. He was my special gift from you. His death has left me very confused, but I thank you for the chance you gave me to be his mother. Please mend my heart and remove all the anguish and pain that has broken it. Lord Jesus, help me to walk in your love every single day as I come to terms with what has happened. Remind me that death has been defeated on the cross, and it has no sting over my family and me because to be absent in the body is to be present with the Lord. As we grieve, help me to remember that all is not lost. In Jesus' all-knowing name, I believe and pray. Amen.
Father in heaven, let your grace be sufficient for me during this mourning period. Lord, knowing that I have to face each day without my child, is tough. But this is the confidence that I have, my child is in your presence where there is no sorrow or mourning. Help us to grieve as true believers of Jesus Christ, for we know that this is not the end we shall see each other in heaven. When we go through difficult times, remind us of the good times we had with our child and the joy that she brought in our lives. I honor you highly, for you are a loving Father. In Jesus' name, I believe and pray. Amen.
Dear God, I bring every grieving parent into your throne of grace. Lord, they are going through a lot of pain after the loss of their children. It is not an easy thing for a parent to bury their child. Father comfort them. Help them to continue being faithful to you even through the pain. Lavish them with your love and fill the void left in their hearts with your unconditional love. In Jesus' powerful name, I believe and pray. Amen.
Abba Father, We long to be with our dear beloved child, our hearts are heavy with deep sorrow and our breath is shallow. Please carry us, for we are overwhelmed by the pain of our grief. Words can not express the depth of our loss or the heartache we feel. We know you are with our dear beloved son (daughter), your heart is overjoyed by him. His breath is new life in Heaven. Please come and nurture our precious one. Thank you for the hope of eternal life that he has now received. Lord, you will keep him safe until we meet. We entrust him into your care now. Amen.
Thank you, God, that you care about us and that we don't need to carry this burden alone. Please lift up our friends who are mourning the loss of their sweet baby. Help them to cast all their worries, concerns, hurts, and suffering to You. Thank you that you care about them and their baby more than we ever could. We pray that their baby would be honored and remembered forever.
Lord, please comfort my friend and his/her family who is hurting right now because of the loss of their child. Would you give them peace today as they navigate through a season that they thought would look differently? Please wrap your arms around them and send people their way who will love them, provide for their needs, and who will walk alongside them through this time of mourning.
God, we pray that you will draw near to these parents who are grieving the loss of their baby. Thank you that you are close to them during this time and that you will never abandon them even during the toughest and most tearful days. When they have days where they feel numb and unsure, please lift them up with your strength.
