Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus, lifting up our dear brother Tan Popatas who is gripped by the fear of death. Lord, Your Word tells us in Psalm 23:4, "Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me." We ask that You fill Tan with Your peace that surpasses all understanding and remind him of Your constant presence.
Lord Jesus, You have conquered death and the grave. Help Tan to fix his eyes on You, the Author and Finisher of our faith. May he find comfort in knowing that You have promised eternal life to those who believe in You. As it is written in John 11:25-26, "I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; and whoever lives by believing in me will never die."
We pray that Tan may come to know You more deeply and trust in Your unfailing love. Let him rest in the assurance that nothing can separate him from Your love, not even death. Strengthen his faith and remove all fear, for perfect love casts out fear .
In Jesus' mighty name, we pray. Amen.
