SEPTEMBER
 

With September being National Suicide Prevention Month, I am sharing a prayer for you to pass all at your meetings. Have a blessed Month.


Loving God,

 

We come before You with hearts open for all who carry heavy burdens, seen and unseen.
We lift those struggling with despair, loneliness, or thoughts of ending their lives. Wrap them in Your light, remind them they are not alone, and fill them with hope for tomorrow.

 

We pray for families, friends, and communities touched by loss. Bring comfort to grieving hearts and the courage to speak openly about pain, healing, and love.

 

Bless the helpers—the counselors, teachers, leaders, healers, and everyday neighbors—who walk beside those in need. Strengthen them with compassion and endurance.

 

Guide us to be voices of encouragement, hands of kindness, and hearts of understanding. Help us to listen without judgment and to respond with care.

 

May this month remind us that every life is precious, every story matters, and every person is deeply loved. Grant us the wisdom to break the silence, the courage to reach out, and the grace to bring hope where it feels lost.

 

Amen.
