We are truly sorry to hear about the passing of ###'s brother, but we are also rejoicing that he is now with our Lord Jesus Christ. We are reminded of the words in 2 Corinthians 5:8, "We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord."
Let us pray together for ###'s family.
Almighty God, we come before You in Jesus' name, lifting up ### and her family in their time of loss. We thank You for the promise of eternal life through Jesus Christ, and we rejoice that ###'s brother is now in Your presence.
We pray for the Holy Spirit to comfort ### and her family in their grief. As they plan the funeral and gather together, may Your peace that passes all understanding guard their hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. Guide them as they make decisions and help them to find strength in You and in each other.
Lord, we also lift up their request for good weather. We know that You are sovereign over all things, and we ask that You would provide favorable weather for their gatherings.
Lastly, we pray for ###'s family to be reminded of the hope that we have in Jesus Christ. May this loss draw them closer to You and to each other. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
We encourage ### and her family to be strong and courageous in the Lord.
