Prayer for comfort and peace
God, we know that this baby is in heaven with you but we're painfully grieving the loss here on earth. It seems unfair and it's devastating, but I pray that you would continue to wrap your arms around us as we cry, mourn, and remember the life of this precious child.
Lord, guide us through these dark times and give us peace and comfort. Bring hope to my sorrowful heart with your kindness and help me understand that I am not in control of the things happening around me. Allow me to trust in your ways and help my spirit not go astray.
In Jesus name, Amen.
