I recently lost my grandad, and I’m even supposed to be working on his tribute right now but I thought I should share these Bible verses that have helped me during this time of loss.
Losing him has brought back so many painful memories from the past. I lost my dad at a very young age and so my grandfather has always been my dad. And somewhere along the line, I lost my mom too.
So losing him now feels like I’m losing them all over again and it hasn’t been easy dealing with this loss.
But when the pain gets too much for me to bear, I turn to the word of God for comfort. Below are some bible verses for comfort when dealing with death, that should help you too if you are grieving. May the Lord be your strength.
Prayer for comfort during grief
Merciful Lord, Please be with me as I go through this difficult moment in my life. It feels as if I’ve lost a piece of me, and the pain is unbearable. My heart is in immense pain. My spirit is in agony. All I can do is cry because I’m lost and empty. Please be my pillar of strength and comfort at this difficult time.
Please help me in dealing with this loss. Lord, you are my refuge; embrace me in your loving arms. Heal my wounded heart and calm my soul. I pray for the soul of my loved one who has passed away. Thank you for allowing me to spend time with them. Please keep their soul safe; even though I am heartbroken, I take solace in your promise of eternal life. Thank you for being there for me at all times. Amen
