(Psalm 30:5) Father, may ___ not be embarrassed and hold back their tears, but let them be the water that cleanses their heart. Let these precious tears release the pressure from their heart. May they feel the freedom to mourn the loss of their loved one. Help them not to bypass the process, but embrace the process of grieving. Although weeping may endure for a night season, joy will come in the morning, even in the mourning season. Thank You for being ___’s guiding light leading them back to joy. Allow sparks of joy to ignite their heart to enjoy life again. The sun will rise again. The dark night of the soul will pass. You are the God who sees us and never leaves us. You stay by our side in the light of day and in the dark of night. You are the God of light, but this does not mean You leave in the night. Your light shines brighter in the night. Thank You for letting ___ go at their own pace during this process and being patient with them as they return to the light of day. Amen.
