Prayer After Death of Loved One

Saints of God, come to his/her aid! Come to meet him/her, angels of the Lord! Receive his/her soul and present him/her to God the Most High.

May Christ, Who called you, take you to Himself; may angels lead you to Abraham’s side. Receive his/her soul and present him/her to God the Most High.

Give him/her eternal rest, O Lord, and may Your light shine upon him/her forever. Receive his/her soul and present him/her to God the Most High.

Let us pray: We commend our brother/sister, (Name) to you, Lord. Now that he/she has passed from this life, may he/she live on in Your presence. In Your mercy and love, forgive whatever sins he/she may have committed through human weakness. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.

For Those Grieving the Loss of Loved Ones

Dedicated in loving memory of Pastor Bertril Baird, who was like a grandfather to me.

Jehovah Jireh, there is none like You. Every day  I want to praise and worship Your glorious name. Today I weep at the death of my friend/family/loved one. But Blessed Father, I can rest assured knowing You are there for me. I know I can find comfort and peace within You, in the midst of my tears and grief. Lord, I shout Your praises, because You have turned my mourning into dancing.

Psalm 18:22 The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer. My God, my strength, in whom I will trust? My shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.

Matthew 5:44 Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.

Comfort in times of loneliness

Console me Lord as I grieve today. Give me Your strength, Heavenly Father. Remind me of Your promises. Comfort me when loneliness strikes and I feel lost. I pour out my heart to You today Lord, for I am broken, shattered and weary.

Heavenly Father, I need You. I am crying out in desperation, in search of that peace that will soon emerge as I cling to You.

Console those of us who are grieving today, give us Your strength oh Heavenly Father. Click To Tweet

2 Corinthians 1:3-4 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 tribulation, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any trouble, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.

Revelation 21:44 And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.

Mending the broken heart

Jesus, my Savior, my friend. You are the resurrection and the life! You wept at the loss of Lazarus, yet You are capable of overcoming death and the sorrow of death. Help me as I feel despair, to find hope in You.

Mend the broken-hearted. Reward us with the consolation of Your presence and Your love. Set us free from this burden on our hearts, dear Lord. Help us to emerge whole and brand new as the circumstances strengthen us.

Even in the midst of my grief, I declare that all I pray for will come to pass, in Jesus mighty name, Amen!!

Mend the broken-hearted, reward us with the consolation of Your presence and Your love. Click To Tweet

1 Thessalonians 4:13-15 But I do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning those who have fallen asleep, lest you sorrow as others who have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who sleep in Jesus. For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord, will by no means precede those who are asleep.

“Dear Heavenly Father,

The wonderful gifts of life are the people you have allowed us to love and be loved by.

I have lost a person very dear to my heart and my heart is heavy with the grief from this loss.  As you know, each person is a unique creation that is irreplaceable.

Lord, as I think of the memories that will tie me to this person forever, please help me to see past this pain.  Let the love that has made this loss so hard never die.  I know my heart is capable of loving much, if it is capable of this kind of pain.

Will you help my heart to share this love again?  Open new friends and people into my life. I know that they will never replace my dear one.  But, my heart has a lot of love to share and that will not end with the death of ____________.

Show me how to deal with my grief in the best way you see fit. Help me to continue to reach through to others through my pain.  Draw closer to me as I lean closer to you.  You are Jehovah Rappha, the God that heals broken hearts.

Right now the pain is so intense. It feels as if my heart will never beat the same again.  Give me hope, Lord.  I need your presence to fill my heart, my home and lift this depression.

Cradle me in your arms as I go to bed at night.  I am having a hard time sleeping.  Give me complete shalom in every way.

In Jesus’ precious name, I come to you as my comforter, my healer and my peace.  Amen.”

A Prayer for Person(s) Overcoming the Death of a Loved One

Psalm 48, Psalm 23

Reflections of the Heart:

It is very difficult to say “good-bye” to a loved one.  The pain can be unbearable.  If you have experienced the death of a loved one, let the Lord love and comfort you.

Our Father in heaven, may Your Name be honored.  There is none greater than You.  You are our refuge and strength.  You are always ready to help in times of trouble.  We praise You, Lord.  We lift our hearts with praise.  It is good to sing praises to You, our God; how delightful and how right!  Lord, You are great and mighty in power.  Your understanding is infinite.  We thank You, Father, for the life of our loved one(s) who have gone on to be with You.  Thank You for their time on earth and the impact they had on our lives.  We are thankful to You and we bless Your Name.

Father, You can count the stars and call them all by name.  Your power is absolute.  Your understanding is beyond comprehension.  You support the humble and bring the wicked down into the dust.  You comfort those who mourn.  We declare that those grieving the death of a loved one; mourning will turn into dancing.  We confess that You are their rock, fortress, and Savior in whom they will find protection.  You are their shield, and the strength of their salvation. Father, You are their stronghold.  As they call on You, You have promised to answer.  We believe that You will be with them during this period of bereavement, rescue them from grief, honor them, and give them Your salvation.

Father, we ask You to send Your peace to those persons who are mourning.  Continue to surround them with family, friends and loved ones who will offer words of comfort.   Give them sweet and restful sleep.   Father, remove the spirit of heaviness, and give them garments of praise.  In due time, bless their lives to overflow with laughter and joy again.   As they take refuge in You, please help them to put their trust in You.  Holy Spirit, we ask that You settle the hearts and minds of those who are feeling any guilt, resentment, bitterness, or anger.  Help them not to look back but to press forward.

Write down the name of those who are grieving the loss of a loved one.  In addition to praying for them, call, visit or send an encouraging note to them.

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Father, forgive the bereaved for any sins they have committed through thoughts, words, or deeds.  Forgive them if they have not meditated on Your Word to find comfort.  Father, forgive them if they have not been totally submissive to Your perfect will for their lives.  Forgive them for any hurtful things they may have said or done to the deceased.  Lord, help them to forgive the deceased if necessary.  Please remind them of anyone they need to forgive; and help them to forgive quickly.

Lead those who mourn not into temptation; but deliver them from the evil one.

Lord, the heavens tell of Your glory.  The skies display Your marvelous craftsmanship. You are the Lord, Most High, the great King over all the earth.  You reign over all nations. You are an awesome God.  We honor You, in Jesus’ Name, Amen.
