God,

The holidays are coming, and there's an empty chair again. Some days I'm fine, and then a song or a smell takes my breath away. Hold me in those moments. Thank You for the years I had with them. Let me feel You close when I miss them most.

In Jesus' name, Amen.

Bible verses for comfort in grief

The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.

Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.

And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
