Sad About Daughter Getting Married?

Sad About Daughter Getting Married?

Are you sad about your daughter’s upcoming wedding?

Do you wrestle with feelings of guilt over feeling sad, feeling overwhelmed, and feeling empty, even though you are genuinely happy for your daughter and her husband-to-be?

Do you go back and forth between periods of excitement and periods when you feel a little down? Crying, even?

Do you feel guilty because of these emotions you are experiencing, thinking you are being selfish and making it all about you?

Friend, I know the upcoming wedding is not all about you… but you know, some of it is about you, and there is no shame in acknowledging that to yourself:)

I know you rejoice with & for your daughter and wish her all the very best. I know you love her with all of your heart!

On the other hand, I can definitely understand and empathize with feelings of sadness and emptiness around this time as well.

Please do not think of yourself as being weak, selfish or unkind for crying or feeling out of sorts during this time, you are simply being human!

You are thoroughly happy and excited for your daughter; yet you might feel a bit like you are also mourning… Please don’t beat yourself up, Please don’t feel ashamed!

Please remember that even at a time like this, when we hurt, God hurts too!

Dear Brother or Sister in Christ, I am honored to join you in prayer today.

I pray that God will overwhelm you with Peace: Today; Before the Wedding; During the Wedding, and even Beyond the Wedding.

I pray that you will fix your eyes on God; and that God will help you navigate all of the feelings and emotions that may come during this time.

May God grant you the grace and wisdom to know what to say, what not to say, what to do, and what not to do, at each point in time.

As you rejoice and support your “little one”, I pray that God will also surround you with family and friends who will uphold you and support you as well, however that might be – God knows exactly what you need, we will trust God to provide!

I pray that God will give you a mighty big hug, God will comfort you, God will heal you, and God will walk with you.

I pray that God will grant you healing in your body and in your mind, to the glory of His name.

I pray that when you feel weak, you will rely on God’s strength and put your hands in His hands – remembering that “His strength is perfect when our strength is gone”!

I pray that beautiful things that we could never have imagined will be birthed from this experience: A deeper relationship with God, A deeper relationship with your daughter, and A deeper understanding of who you are.

I pray that your daughter’s wedding will be absolutely peaceful and beautiful… but much more importantly, I pray that her marriage will be a beautiful testimony of God’s goodness… A wonderful display of God’s grace… far beyond what you could have hoped or imagined for her!

Ephesians 3:20-21, NIV Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.

Love you sis! But as always, God loves you the most! 🙂

It is well! It all ends well!

Hugs, Love, & Blessings,
Bomi
