Survivors Prayer

Good and Gracious God, we are Survivors seeking healing for our broken hearts and broken spirits.
We are Survivors seeking understanding of something that is incomprehensible.
We are Survivors seeking comfort, in an inconsolable situation.
We are Survivors seeking faith, where our faith is being challenged and tested.
We are Survivors seeking hope, where all seems hopeless.
We are Survivors seeking love, a love that has been taken from us, yet we desperately cling to it.
We are Survivors seeking peace, peace in the knowledge that our loved one is with you, and, that one day, we will find peace in our hearts.
Lord, we thank you for your love and for the bond we Survivors share. We find strength in you and in one another.
Dear Lord, travel with all of us on our journey of healing. We pray that in your power and love, and through each other, we will find all that we seek.

Amen
