Prayer

Jesus invites us to grieve with Him in John 14:1 — 'Do not let your hearts be troubled.'

Father, thank You that You don't despise my tears. You see them, count them, and collect them. I confess I often try to rush past my grief, to move on, to be strong. But You show me that weeping is part of being human and being whole. Help me grieve what is truly lost. Help me sit with sorrow instead of running from it. Teach me to weep with others, and help me trust that Your joy will come again. In Jesus' name, Amen.
