Father, in the name of Jesus, I approach Your throne of grace, bringing __________ before You. I recognize that grieving is a human emotional process, and I give him/her the space that he/she needs to enter into the rest that You have for him/her.
Lord, Jesus bore ___________’s griefs (sicknesses, weaknesses and distresses) and carried his/her sorrows and pains; I know that Your Spirit is upon Jesus to bind up and heal __________’s broken heart. May he/she be gentle with himself/herself, knowing that he/she is not alone in his/her grief. You are with him/her, and You will never leave him/her without support.
Father, I desire to be a doer of Your Word, and not a hearer only. Therefore, I make a commitment to rejoice with those who rejoice [sharing others’ joy], and to weep with those who weep [sharing others’ grief]. I pray that my love will give _______________ great joy and comfort and encouragement, because he/she has refreshed the hearts of Your people.
Thank You, Father, for sending the Holy Spirit to comfort, counsel, help, intercede for, defend, strengthen and stand by _________________ in this time of grief and sorrow.
In Jesus’ name I pray, amen.
