Lord, give me words to encourage her to take another step
Give me words that will illuminate her spirit to take another breath
Lord, wrap your arms around her during this time of grief
Let her find comfort in Your bosom to soothe a pain that’s set so deep
Please mend her broken heart and lift her heavy burden
Help her to put together the pieces and heal her where she’s hurting
Lord, strengthen her daily during this time of sorrow
Either take her hands or carry her, but get her through tomorrow
And when her only form of expression becomes a cry or a groan
please put adjectives to her tears when she can’t find words of her own
And Lord, please give her vision to see the brighter picture
that her child is in a better place now and their life is so much richer.
“The Lord is close to the brokenhearted; he rescues those whose spirits are crushed. (Psalm 34:18 NLT)”
