Heavenly Father,
We lift up the family, friends, and loved ones of this dearly departed soul, who are grieving and heartbroken over her passing. Lord, in this time of loss, we ask that You wrap them in Your love and bring them comfort. Your Word in *Psalm 34:18* reminds us, βThe Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.β Draw near to each person mourning her loss, especially her children, and help them feel Your comforting presence.
Father, we ask that You pour out Your peace upon all who knew and loved her, guiding them through their sorrow. In *Matthew 5:4*, Jesus tells us, βBlessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.β May Your promise of comfort be with them now, helping them to lean on You in their pain and find rest in Your presence.
Lord, we also pray for strength and healing for all who are affected by the pain of cancer, which has taken so many loved ones from us. We know that one day there will be no more suffering, as *Revelation 21:4* assures us, βHe will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain.β Until that day, we ask for courage and faith to trust in Your loving care, even in the midst of heartache.
Help this grieving family and community to hold onto the memories of their loved one with gratitude and honor, and grant them moments of peace and healing as they remember her life. May You fill their hearts with hope and the assurance that You are with them now and always.
In Jesusβ name, we pray, Amen.
