A Prayer for When You Feel Sad
Father, my heart feels heavy today. Sadness has settled over me, and I do not fully understand why. I come to You just as I am.
You are close to the brokenhearted. You see every tear and know every sorrow. Draw near to me now, and let me feel that I am not alone.
Comfort me with Your gentle love. Lift the weight I carry, little by little. Remind me that joy can return, and that You hold my tomorrow.
Give me patience with myself, and hope to carry on. I rest my sad heart in Your kind hands, in Jesus' name, Amen.
When to Pray This
Pray this whenever sadness settles over you, whether you know the reason or not. It is a gentle way to bring your heavy heart to God. If sadness lingers for a long time, please also reach out to someone you trust or a caring professional.
