notes below. Wherever you are right now, I've got to tell you that there is power over your life. I've got to tell you right now, however you are feeling. Yes, we are in December. Yes, we are hitting that month. May God bless you and carry you. Whatever you are doing, do not allow this season to get you down. Do not allow this season to wind you up. Do not allow this season the pressure of Christmas and life.
Father, in the name of Jesus, Lord, as memories return through this season, as grief intensifies now through this season. Lord, as emotional heaviness gets stronger and stronger. Lord, I want to pray for all those family members that are missing their loved ones today. Lord, I pray that as they miss them at this Christmas time, maybe Lord, it's their first Christmas where they're missing their loved ones, their families, their friends. Lord, I pray for those, dear God, that are going through bereavement right now. God help them through this season. Lord, let the family table, dear God, with empty chairs around it be blessed. Father, as we see that analogy, that picture. Lord, as they look at the family table, Lord, as they realize the Christmas card will never be the same. As they realize certain things around Christmas will never go back to what it was. Father, bless those families right now that are going through sorrow and pain and those, dear God, that don't even want to go through the process of Christmas. Lord, we pray that you will bless them, heal them from grief, loss and the missing loved one during this season. Father,
we pray. And we thank you right now, Lord, for Psalm 34, verse 18. The Lord is close to the brokenhearted. Wherever you are right now, in the middle of the day, in the middle of the hour, whatever your season is, we're praying for healing from grief, loss, sorrow, emotional pain, and the missing loved one at Christmas. Father, the prayer is simple right now. We pray for those that are missing their loved ones in this season. Lord, those that are missing, dear God, friends and families, Lord God, through accidents, through death, through whatever it may be, Lord, we pray today that the love of Jesus will wipe every tear from them, that you will carry them right now. And Lord, we anchor into the book of Revelation 21, verse 4. He will wipe every tear from their eyes. God sees your cry. God sees your tears. He sees your heart frustrated. He sees your life. He sees the pain. He sees the worry. He sees the doubt. The spirit of the Lord is over you. And Lord, I pray for peace through this season right now. I pray, dear God, that you will be close to the brokenhearted. Lord, and you save those who are crushed in spirit. So Lord, Psalm 34, verse 18. The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. And Lord, also we anchor down, we throw the anchor out right now, and we lock into Revelation 21, verse 4. He wipes every tear from their eyes. Lord, the global search is healing right now for grief, for loss and pain for the missing loved one at this season, at this Christmas.
Lord, take this grief and this pain, because it cuts deep in the name of Jesus. Lord, I ask that you will bring peace to every heart, every mind that is listening to my voice now. And Lord, I pray right now, I keep, Lord, keep this to the tongue now, Lord. Praying for grief to go, praying for comfort, praying for peace, the prayer for strength, prayer for hope, prayer for restoration, prayer for emotional healing. Lord, bless lives today. Let the love of Jesus Christ be over them. Wherever they are in the name of Jesus Christ, I pray for every listener. I thank you for their lives and whatever they face at this season. Be with them, oh Lord. Maybe it's their first time of listening, maybe it's the first time of praying. Whatever it may be, bless them, carry them, let them know all is well. God bless you wherever you are across the world. Never give up. The line of Judah is with you. God loves you. Until tomorrow.
