A Prayer Inspired by the Raising of the Widow’s Son

Lord Jesus, You who looked with compassion upon the widow of Nain and wiped away her tears, I come before You today with a heart full of faith, seeking Your mercy and healing.
 

O Jesus, the One who raises the dead, just as You touched the young man's coffin and restored him to life, touch my life today and grant me a new resurrection from my weaknesses and sins.

I ask You to look upon me with Your eyes of mercy and to lay Your mighty hand upon my wounds, restoring hope where despair has taken hold and bringing peace where turmoil reigns.

Lord, just as You comforted the widow and gave her son back to her, be my comfort in every moment of sorrow and loss.

Do not let my soul remain captive to grief, but make me a witness to Your love and infinite power. 

I believe, Lord, that You are the God of life, and that You can raise everything within me that has withered, so that I may live with the joy of the children of God.

To You be all glory and thanks forever.

Amen.
