Prayer For Person Who Passed Away
Lord Jesus, Come into my life. I believe you died and rose from the grave. I believe you live eternally in heaven. Cleanse me from all unrighteousness. Forgive me of all my sins. Move into my heart. I make you my Lord and Savior. Thank you for your sacrifice. I accept your gift of eternal salvation. Amen.
Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them. May the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.
May the Lord our God bless all present here to memorialize those who
died to preserve liberty and freedom in our nation and in the world.
May the Lord our God remember all those whose sacrifice gave this
nation it's greatness, progress and richness.
May our memory of those who served be an honorable one, full of
thanksgiving to the Lord, who accepted them into His kingdom.
The Lord is for all and in Him we believe, and to Him we pray.
Remember all who died in the service of their country, whether in the
air, on land and sea.
O Lord, be gracious and merciful unto them and let Your light shine
upon them, for You are our God, and unto You we ascribe glory, now
and forever. Amen.
We pause now in the busy routine of this new day to pay our last
respects to the memory of a shipmate (name) who died (when). Be
particularly close, O Lord, to those who loved him/her most in this their
hour of greatest need. Help them survive and enable them to bear-up
under the burden of their pain and loss. Be with us all. Amen.
Eternal God, the Source and Giver of life, the destiny toward whom all
life flows, we have gathered in this memorial service to remember
(name). Sanctify every good memory and cut short every vain attempt
to treat his death lightly. In his death, give us the honesty to appreciate
him/her simply for who he/she was among us. In the awful waste of
death for one so young, we are dismayed at how transient and fleeting
life is. Give us the grace to give to him/her the integrity of his/her
death. Comfort those who knew him/her well and mourn his/her loss.
Bring peace to the troubled spirits of all those who have the courage to
face their own death. Let his/her death be a bond between us as we are
never far from death. Speak comfortingly to us that we need never fear
the terror of death nor flee from the rare privilege of life. Amen.
In the midst of life we are in death; from whom can we seek help?
From You alone, O Lord, who by our sins are justly angered. Holy
God, Holy and Mighty, Holy and Merciful Savior, deliver us not into
the bitterness of eternal death.
Lord, You know the secrets of our hearts; shut not your ears to our
prayers, but spare us, O Lord.
Holy God, Holy and Mighty, Holy and Merciful Savior, deliver us not
into the bitterness of eternal death.
O worthy and eternal Judge, do not let the pains of death turn us away
from You at our last hour.
Holy God, Holy and Mighty, Holy and Merciful Savior, deliver us not
into the bitterness of eternal death.
Eternal Lord God, You hold all souls in life.
Give to Your whole Church in paradise and on earth, Your light and
Your peace; and grant that we, following the good examples of those
who have served You here and now at rest, may at last, enter with them
into your unending joy. Amen.
Almighty God, we remember before You today Your faithful servant
(name) and we pray, that having opened to him/her the gates of larger
life, You will receive him/her more and more into Your joyful service,
that with all who have faithfully served You in the past, he may live
and reign with You, forever and ever. Amen.
Almighty God, our heavenly Father, in whose hands are the living and
the dead, we give You thanks for all Your servants who have laid down
their lives in the service of our country. Grant to them the mercy and
the light of Your presence and the assurance of Your peace. Amen.
