Jesus invites us to bring our burdens to Him, knowing He carried the weight of all our sorrows (Isaiah 53:4).
Father, You know the depth of this pain that feels like it might crush me. You are the God who sees every tear and holds every broken heart. I don't understand why my child had to die, and I'm angry and confused and desperate for comfort. Please be near to me in this darkness and help me trust that my precious child is safe with You. Heal this wound that feels like it will never stop bleeding. In Jesus' name, Amen.
