A Prayer for a Mother Who Lost a Child in a Crash

God of all comfort, draw near to a mother whose heart is broken. Her daughter is gone, taken suddenly, and the grief is more than words can hold. Be close to her now.

Lord, we do not understand this loss. We bring our tears and our questions to You. Hold her in the long nights and the empty days. Let her know she does not weep alone.

Carry what she cannot carry. Send gentle people to sit beside her. Keep the memory of her daughter tender and near, and let love outlast the pain.

Give her small mercies, one day at a time, until peace returns like morning light. We trust her, and the one she loves, into Your faithful hands. In Jesus' name, Amen.

When to Pray This

Pray this for any grieving mother, or quietly for yourself if you have suffered this loss. There is no rush to feel better; return to it whenever the sorrow rises. Reach out, too, to a pastor, counselor, or trusted friend who can sit with you.
