10 Days of Comforting PrayerSample

Day 5: Healing from Grief and Sorrow

In times of grief and sorrow, Jesus will heal your heart. As the Man of Sorrows, He is uniquely able and willing to comfort you in the midst of your pain.

After reading today's key Scriptures, pray this:

• Thank Jesus for coming to earth as a Man, acquainting Himself with sorrow and grief on your behalf.
• Thank Him for enduring the pain of rejection on your behalf as well.
• Confess to Him any hurt in your heart that comes from being rejected.
• Confess your faith that He bore all your sorrows and griefs, so that you could be comforted.
• Ask Father God, Jesus, and His Holy Spirit to comfort you in your affliction.
• Ask the Father to help you forgive those who have hurt you, just as Jesus forgave those who murdered Him on the cross.
• Speak out loud in prayer that you give Jesus your sorrows, pains, griefs, and rejection.
• Speak out loud to Him that you receive His comfort, His life, His healing, and His sound mind and emotions today. After all, you have the mind of Christ—and His Holy Spirit, our Comforter, dwells in you!
• Thank Jesus for bearing your troubles, griefs, and sorrows all the way to the cross.
• Thank Him for the resurrection life He purchased for you with His precious blood.
• Ask Him to fill you with His Spirit, His power, and His resurrection life anew and afresh today.

No matter what you're going through, Jesus purchased comfort for you with His own blood.

His blood paved the way for God's own Spirit to dwell within you and comfort you. May you find comfort and strength in the Lord today as you navigate the journey of healing from grief and sorrow.
