SPECIAL PRAYER FOR THOSE WHO HAVE LOST A LOVED ONE: We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord. (2 Corinthians 5:8 KJV)

LET US PRAY: Lord, I pray for all those who are grieving over the death of a loved one. Lord, be near to them today. May their sorrow today be turned into abundant joy tomorrow. May their heart that aches today, rejoice today with exceeding joy. Lord, You said that blessed are those that mourn for they shall be comforted. Lord, send forth Your Holy Spirit today to them that they shall receive unimaginable comfort in Your presence. Lord, bless them all with Your peace. Leave Your peace in their hearts. Lord, You do not give as the world gives, so I'm sure that You will give them all unreserved peace. Lord, I am sure that their lost loved ones that are absent in body today are with You in spirit. Lord, may those who have lost a loved one be reminded of this, that they may have a reason to smile again. In Jesus' Name. Amen.
