We join with you in lifting up the funeral of Mark, scheduled for Thursday, 27th March, to our Lord Jesus Christ. We are grateful for the opportunity to honor Mark's life and witness to the love and kindness of Christ that was evident in his life. We ask that the Holy Spirit will fill the place where family, friends, the clinical team, and staff will gather, and that the eulogy will powerfully reflect Mark's intelligence, love, and kindness, which were a result of God's grace working in him. May his life story bring glory to our Father in heaven.
We pray that through the scriptures shared, the Christian songs sung, and the beautiful prayer offered, the Lord will soften the hearts of those attending, especially the non-Christians, that they may be receptive to the Gospel. We ask that the Lord will open their eyes to see the truth of the Gospel and come to saving faith in Jesus Christ. As the Word of God says,
"Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God." (Romans 10:17 WEB).
May the Lord use this occasion to draw many to Himself, that they may know the love, peace, and joy that comes from being in a right relationship with God through Jesus Christ. We ask that the Lord will comfort all who mourn and that this funeral service will be a testament to the hope that we have in Jesus Christ, who conquered death and gave us the promise of eternal life.
We pray this in the precious name of Jesus Christ, who is the only way, the truth, and the life and no one comes to the Father except through Him. (John 14:6 WEB)
In Jesus name we pray. Amen.
