Many are displaced, some are missing and confused,  and several are mourning the death of loved ones, due to wars and disasters. 

Dealing with loss of any kind can be traumatic. Hence the Father of the Prodigal son was very happy when he was found, and the woman who found her lost coin rejoiced exceedingly.

The first thing to go away in a loss situation is joy. And with that goes strength as well. Then confusion and hopelessness takes over.

And if you are going through these traumatic experiences,  your place of peace and comfort can only be found at that place of prayers to God.

 Only God can comfort, console, and help you make the necessary emotional adjustments, in order to cope with your losses.

Although we may not be near you to offer immediate help, just know that you are in our thoughts and prayers.

#MyPrayer4you:

My earnest heartfelt Prayer for you is that God will show up strong for you.

In unity of faith with the praying warriors, we rebuke the forces of evils and place a restraint order that restrict them from taking advantage of your vulnerability. 

I release to you now the peace of God that surpasses understanding, and the enabling grace of God, to help you process this time of troubles appropriately, so that your progress will be swift, in the matchless name of Jesus Christ. 

Read and personalize the following verses from Psalm 86:3-8, 10, 13, 16-17 AMPC:

[3]  Be merciful and gracious to me, O Lord, for to You do I cry all the day. 

[4]  Make me, Your servant, to rejoice, O Lord, for to You do I lift myself up. 

[5]  For You, O Lord, are good, and ready to forgive [our trespasses, sending them away, letting them go completely and forever]; and You are abundant in mercy and loving-kindness to all those who call upon You. 

[6]  Give ear, O Lord, to my prayer; and listen to the cry of my supplications. 

[7]  In the day of my trouble I will call on You, for You will answer me. 

[8]  There is none like unto You among the gods, O Lord, neither are their works like unto Yours.

[10]  For You are great and work wonders! You alone are God.

[13]  For great is Your mercy and loving-kindness toward me; and You have delivered me from the depths of Sheol [from the exceeding depths of affliction].

[16]  O turn to me and have mercy and be gracious to me; grant strength (might and inflexibility to temptation) to Your servant and save the son of Your handmaiden.

 [17]  Show me a sign of [Your evident] goodwill and favor, that those who hate me may see it and be put to shame, because You, Lord, [will show Your approval of me when You] help and comfort me.”
