Heavenly Father,
We come before You with heavy hearts, lifting up the family and loved ones of our dear brother Mike, known to us as RegretFULLY. Lord, we thank You for the life he lived and the faith he demonstrated, even in the face of a long battle with cancer. We rejoice that he is now free from pain and resting in Your eternal presence.
Lord, we ask for Your comfort and peace to surround his family and friends during this time of mourning. Your Word tells us in 2 Corinthians 1:3-4 that You are the "Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles." May they feel Your loving arms around them, providing solace and strength.
We also remember the impact Mike had on this community as a prayer warrior and friend. His absence leaves a void, but we trust in Your promise that "those who sleep in Jesus, will God bring with Him" . Help us to honor his memory by continuing to lift each other up in prayer and support.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
