I sent this page to a friend who's going through a really rough time. We ended up reading the prayers together over a video call. It was just a simple gesture, but she thanked me for it like she said she felt somehow saved. It was powerful. I love how it doesn't rush the healing process. I think a lot of us just needed to be reminded that God is still with us when we're in a broken state, and this did that beautifully. xx

I was in the middle of my grief when I stumbled upon this page. I lost someone I love recently, and the weight of it has been truly unbearable most of the time. These prayers helped me put words to what I've been feeling, other than feeling numb when the hurt got so big. I was gently pointed back to God's presence. Thank you making room for honest pain and the reminder that there is comfort in Christ.

Psalm 73:26 says though our flesh may fail, God is our strength. This prayer lifts up chronic pain, illness, or injury to the Healer.
God, I have no words left. I’m numb, tired, and empty. Please just be near. I trust that even silence is heard by You. Amen.
Romans 8:26 says the Spirit intercedes when we don’t know what to pray. This final prayer is for when tears or silence are all we have.
Comfort doesn’t always look like a solution to a problem. It sometimes looks like presence. It’s having peace in the middle of your pain, and the strength to keep breathing. You are not alone in whatever problem you are facing. God’s comfort is within reach daily. It’s real and meets you right where you are. Come as you are and let the tears fall. You don’t have to be strong when He is there with you, always.
