Prayer for Sorrow

Heavenly Father,

Thank you for teaching us about and through sorrow and thank you for taking our sorrows upon yourself. You have shown us that godly people can endure a multitude of sorrows and overcome in your strength and by your grace, that you will always be a help and a rock for us in times of distress.

Please help us to learn from and overcome our sorrows and for all believers to endure the pain, struggles and trials of this world. Use sorrow to better us in serving you and to show the ungodly the error of their ways that they should repent, turn to you and be saved from all their troubles.

Help us to depend on you and look forward joyfully to the bright future you have in store for us.

Please ease the troubles of all who seek you. All praise and glory to your happy name Lord Jesus.

Amen.
