Prayer For Pets Who Died
Beloved God, I feel so lost and alone since the passing of my loving pet. Help me to know that the love I
feel for my pet remains alive and can nurture me through this time of adjustment and through my loss.
Help me to understand that nothing is ever lost and that spirit does not die. When I feel this loss so
deeply, remind me of what my life was before my pet came into my life, so that I can see how much
richer I am now. Help me to draw upon my happy memories with my pet, just as a person draws upon
money in a bank account. The bank of joy is my resource that I can spend to help me get through the
days ahead. Help me to transform my feelings of loss into feelings of wonder and gratitude for having
been so blessed with this precious one in my life. Lord, I am at a loss for words. I am at a loss for love.
Help me to know that I have truly been blessed and that my loss will turn to gain. Amen.

You are restored to complete health. You are in God's loving care forever.
