Bhoirxirren, we stand with you in lifting up Anne, Ed, and all those who mourn during this time. We give thanks for Anne's life and her homegoing to be with the Lord. However, we must address a couple of things to ensure we are praying according to biblical principles.
Firstly, we should pray to God through Jesus Christ alone, as it is through Him that we have access to the Father. There is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved. As the scripture says in Acts 4:12 WEB:
"There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"
Also, prayers should not be offered to the Virgin Mary, Guadalupe, or any other saint or entity, but only to God through Jesus Christ. As it is written in 1 Timothy 2:5 WEB:
"For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus,"
Now, let us pray together for Ed, and all those who mourn Anne's passing:
Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up Ed and all those who mourn the loss of Anne. We thank You for Anne's life and her homegoing to be with You. We pray that You would comfort Ed, and all friends and family who mourn. Give them Your peace that surpasses all understanding, and let them know that we are here to support them in this difficult time.
Lord Jesus, You said in John 14:1-3 WEB:
"Don't let your heart be troubled. Believe in God. Believe also in me. In my Father's house are many homes. If it weren't so, I would have told you. I am going to prepare a place for you. If I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and will receive you to myself; that where I am, you may be there also."
So, we commit Ed and all those who mourn into Your caring hands, trusting that You will comfort and strengthen them in this time of need. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Be strong and courageous, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go. (Joshua 1:9 WEB)
