Lord, Breathe new life into discouraged spirits with your precious Holy Spirit’s comfort. Let each person feel Your presence in amazing ways. Assure them you are walking with them through the fires, through the floods, through the sicknesses, and the unspeakable losses in their lives. Help them to know they are not alone as they grieve their losses, both big and small ones.

Thank you for your patience and gentleness with those whose lives feel overwhelmed and on the brink of despair. Help them to be patient with themselves and to cling tightly to your hand daily. May your promises fill their hearts with hope for the future and peace in their spirits.
