Father, God, I am grieving today for a wonderful friend who has been deeply betrayed by a partner she trusted. The pain is fresh, and the wound runs deep.
Please give me words and actions that will truly comfort her in this time of grief. Help her to see Your hand in this painful ending—that She knows now what she might have committed her life to otherwise. Protect her heart from further harm, even in this moment of uncovering truth.
Comfort her in this time of loss and sorrow. Prepare her heart and open a door in Your timing for someone and somewhere much better than this—a love that honors You and reflects Your faithfulness. Show her that at the proper time, You will restore what the locusts have eaten.
Give us both words and deeds of comfort we can share, not in condemnation, but in grace. Let our lives point to You while she heals. For the sake of Your Kingdom to come on earth.
This I pray in Jesus' name. Amen.
