Matthew 5:4
Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.

Blessed be God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. You are the Father of mercy and the God of all comforts. Father You are the One who comforts us in all our tribulations. Thank You Lord that by knowing You and by the power of Your Holy Spirit I may be used to bring solace to those who are troubled. Let our hope be in You for You have partaken of suffering and have given us consolation. Father sometimes our burdens seem beyond measure, draining us of all strength, bringing us into despair. But Your love Lord soothes the grief and eases the heart that aches.Thank You Lord that one day You will wipe away all tears from our eyes. There will be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying, there shall be no more pain, for the former things will pass away. And Jesus who sits on the throne will says " Behold, I make all things new." Jesus You are the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end the bright and morning star.  I pray Lord for all those who weep and mourn the loss of loved ones, death of a dream, suffer the disappointment of the ending of a marriage, or our separated from a dear one serving in the military. Father, it is so hard to grasp the depth of another suffering, to truly know the ache of an other's heart. Only when we are ourselves have endured a loss, we can be use as the loving arms to be wrapped around those in pain. Lord I pray out of the deep well of my own heart, which was dug by life's trials and challenges, Your love would spring forth to bring hope and restoration. You have called me to share good tidings to the poor, to help bind up broken hearts. Letting them know You will give them the oil of joy for mourning, beauty for ashes, and a garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness. Thank You Lord that even in the midst of the deepest sorrows You are there by the power of the Holy Spirit. Let the people see through their tear filled eyes that distort the view of who You are and the gift that You have given. I pray for all those who are heavy laden to cast their cares upon You, for You care for them so much. Lord may they not run from You but straight into Your arms and the promise they shall be comforted. Bless You Jesus for the times in my life that I could crawl up into Your loving care and let out gut wrenching cries of anguish and You did not flinch or turn away, Your amazing love was a warm gentle embrace that cradled me in peace, telling me You understood, and let the healing begin. I love You Jesus with all that is in my little tattered heart.  In the name of Christ, Amen.
