7 Days Of Praying Through LossExemple

Put On the Breastplate of Righteousness

Let’s pray,

Dear Lord, I put on the breastplate of righteousness as a shield from the undue pain the enemy intends for my heart. He knows he can use the pain of loss as a wedge to do me long-term harm. Thank You, Father, for helping me to stand strong against his plan. He wants to keep me hurting, but You would have me healed from my pain. Jesus knew and experienced loss, including the loss of His close friends who betrayed Him. So You know the pain I am feeling. Cover my anger, hurt, and bitterness with Your goodness, mercy, and grace. I need Your grace right now to be the air I breathe and the food I eat. I need You to fill me with Your spirit as You heal me from this pain. I need Your righteousness because I cannot count on my own. In Christ’s name, amen.
