My soul, wait in silence for God alone, for my expectation is from him.

Psalm 62:5 World English Bible

Reflection

Waiting for loved ones to return brings prolonged anxiety and emotional strain to households. When family members are separated by distance, duty, or hardship, the quiet burden of uncertainty weighs heavily on daily living. Ask God to sustain these families with patience, inner fortitude, and steady hope during long periods of waiting. May comforting grace rest upon parents, spouses, and children, surrounding them with supportive neighbours and compassionate communities until reunion comes.

Prayer

Pray for strength and comfort for the families awaiting their loved ones' return.
