As I pen these words, tears stream down my face, each drop a testament to the depths of my sorrow. I have just taken my communion and recited the “Lord’s Prayer,” and my heart is breaking as I find myself alone once again. The ache of losing the beloved person I once shared these sacred moments with feels almost unbearable. But Lord Jesus, no matter the storm that rages around me, I will praise You. I will worship You through my tears and sorrow, even if I must do it alone.
Lord Jesus, above all else, I am Yours. Here I am, offering all that I have, my brokenness. It feels so little, so unworthy, but it is all I can give because it’s all that I am. I lay myself at Your feet, knowing that You deserve so much more. You are beautiful, You are precious, and yet You take me as I am. Everything I have is Yours, Lord Jesus.
Moving forward feels like an insurmountable challenge, but for You, I will strive to overcome. I cannot give up, for You have never given up on me. Give me the strength to endure, to stand firm in faith, even when my heart feels like it might shatter. Be with me in this painful moment, for I cannot bear it alone. As I spill my heart, I want You to know that I love You so much, but I know You love me even more like You spilled Your blood for me.
Lord Jesus, I need You now more than ever. Strengthen me, comfort me, and bring joy to my weary heart. Take the anger that resides within me and replace it with Your boundless love. Be with the person I have loved whom I lost, for he too needs Your presence, grace, and Your love.
Forever Yours, every beat of my heart is dedicated to Your glory!
Christ’s Grace, My Story,
