Standing With Those Who Have Suffered Loss
SCRIPTURE ANCHOR
“And they shall build the old wastes, they shall raise up the former desolations, and they shall repair the waste cities…” Isaiah 61:4 KJV
TODAY’S FOCUS
Loss takes many forms: The death of a loved one, loss of health, housing, employment, income, relationships, possessions, security, or plans for the future.
And after loss comes another difficult assignment: rebuilding.
Today, we stand with those grieving what was lost and those finding the courage to begin again.
#PRAYER FOCUS
■ For the bereaved: Pray that God will comfort grieving hearts, strengthen families adjusting to absence, and surround them with compassionate people.
■ For those who have lost homes or possessions: Pray for safe shelter, practical assistance, trustworthy helpers, and the resources necessary to rebuild.
■ For those facing loss of employment or income: Pray for provision, wisdom in financial decisions, new opportunities, and doors of legitimate employment.
■ For those experiencing changes in health: Pray for strength, appropriate care, wisdom concerning treatment, encouragement, and grace for families and caregivers.
■ For those beginning again: Pray against despair and discouragement. Ask God to restore hope, give clear direction, and provide courage for each next step.

If you are rebuilding after a loss, simply write:
“I’m rebuilding. Please stand with me.”
And when you see those words from someone else, pause and pray for them before you scroll away.
Protect your privacy and that of others when sharing requests.

WATCHMAN’S DECLARATION
Loss will not have the final word.
I receive grace for what cannot be changed, wisdom for what must be rebuilt, and courage for what lies ahead.
The Lord remains faithful in every season.
