Oh Lord,
Go with each of us to rest; if any awake, temper to them the dark hours of watching; and when the day returns, return to us, our sun and comforter, and call us up with morning faces and with morning hearts, eager to labor, eager to be happy, and if the day be marked for sorrow, strong to endure it. Amen
Lord, I ask You to be with me and to help me simply, let go. I know Lord, that one day we will certainly meet again, for we are both Your children. Help me to see this as a short-lived period of separation which will one day blossom on a most glorious reunion, when You will wipe away every tear from my our eyes, and we will both stand before You in our heavenly home.
Lord, I know that there are bound to be many times when memories and sadness will sweep over my heart, but into Your hands I commit my heart and soul and body, praying that You will never leave me nor forsake me, as You have promised. Thank You, Lord. In Jesus' name,
Amen.
Heavenly Father, I come to You knowing that I have to pick up the pieces of my life after this devastating blow, which has left me shocked and grieving. Lord, I don't understand why this sudden death had to happen. But Lord, I am looking to You and trusting You to see me through this time of deep and bitter sadness and loss.
Lord, I think that the hardest thing is that we never were able to say, good-bye properly, There were many things that were left unsaid between us and this has left a deep sadness within my soul. I feel as if my bones are crying out and my breath seems to remain as a lump in my centre of my body. A heaviness seems to weigh me down. But Lord, I know that Your grace is sufficient for Your strength is made perfect in my weakness. Lord, I claim that strength now as I confess my own insufficiency and weakness.
Amen

Oh Lord, You are the ADONAI and the one everlasting God. You made the lands and the seas and You have complete dominion over life and death.

We exalt Your name oh Lord and we glorify Your deeds in our lives. Amen.
