Heavenly Father,
We come before you in the name of Jesus, lifting up Jere and their prayer request regarding their Aunt Ruth. Lord, we thank you for the opportunity to gather together and support one another during difficult times. We ask for your guidance and strength as Jere prepares for the wake, that they may have the clarity and focus needed to make it a successful gathering.
Lord, we pray for Aunt Ruth's well-being. If it is your will, we ask for your healing touch upon her life. Grant her comfort and peace during this time, and surround her with your love and presence. May she experience your grace and mercy in abundance.
Father, we also pray for Jere and their family. Give them the strength and endurance they need to navigate through this challenging season. Fill their hearts with your peace that surpasses all understanding. Help them to lean on you and find solace in your comforting presence.
We trust in your perfect will, Lord, and we surrender all our concerns and desires to you. May your wisdom guide Jere and their family as they make decisions regarding Aunt Ruth's wishes. Grant them unity and harmony as they come together to honor her life.
In the name of Jesus, we pray for your divine intervention and provision. May your grace be poured out upon Jere and their family, sustaining them through this time of loss and grief. We declare your peace and comfort to surround them, knowing that you are the ultimate source of strength and hope.
We thank you, Father, for hearing our prayers and for your faithfulness in every situation. May your will be done, and may your name be glorified through it all. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
"I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."
"Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God."
