Addressing anxiety, depression, or grief through spiritual comfort
Tender God, Mender of Shattered Hearts and Keeper of Our Tears,
In the raw aftermath of emotional wounds, we crawl to Your throne—
not because healing feels near, but because Your compassion knows no end.
We thank You for sitting with us in the ashes.
When memories claw like thorns, You whisper:
"I have loved you with an everlasting love."
For Your patience with our fragmented trust, we praise You.
Unearth beauty beneath the rubble.
Where shame once festered, let forgiveness bloom;
Where fear built fortresses, let courage take root;
Where numbness deadened joy, awaken sacred wonder.
"I will give you a crown of beauty instead of ashes."
Rebuild what trauma shattered.
Piece together our identity in Your image,
Knit relationships stronger at the broken places,
And teach us to receive comfort without flinching.
"You have turned my mourning into dancing."
Be the safe harbor when triggers surge.
Anchor us when panic swells like floodwaters,
Remind us: "There is no fear in love,"
And wrap our trembling souls in Your perfect love.
Turn our scars into sanctuary.
Let every night survived become a lighthouse,
Every tear-stained prayer a roadmap for others,
Until our story testifies: "He heals the brokenhearted."
Gentle Healer, who bore our griefs on Calvary’s tree,
Teach us to wear vulnerability as armor of grace.
May we say with the psalmist: "You have revived me."
In Your restoring name, we pray. Amen.
