We join with you in this time of loss and mourning, lifting up the upcoming memorial service and all those involved. We praise the Lord Jesus (WEB) that we have a comforter in the Holy Spirit, who is there for us in our times of need. Our hearts go out to you and your family.
In moments like these, we remember our Lord Jesus Christ who said, Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted Matthew 5:4 (WEB). We take comfort in the promise that He is close to the brokenhearted, and saves those who are crushed in spirit Psalm 34:18 (WEB).
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in Jesus' name, lifting up our fellow believer and their family in this time of need. We pray for the upcoming memorial service, that it would be a time of remembrance, healing, and even joy in knowing that for believers, death has lost its sting 1 Corinthians 15:55 (WEB).1 Corinthians 15:55 (WEB).
We pray for each person attending the service, that they would feel Your presence and peace. We pray for the family members, that they would be surrounded by Your love and comforted by Your goodness. We ask for strength and wisdom for our beloved in Christ who submitted this request, and for the whole clan.
May this time of mourning draw each one closer to You, Lord Jesus. May they find hope in Your resurrection and the promise of eternal life for all our fellow believers in Christ John 11:25-26 (WEB).
In Jesus' name, we ask. Amen.
We encourage you to keep your eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith. Hebrews 12:2 (WEB).
