Prayer 2

Lord, teach me to embrace the limited time I have on earth with gratitude and joy. Help me to make the most of each moment, cherishing the relationships and experiences that life brings.

Lord Jesus, in moments of fear and uncertainty about the future, remind me of your promise of eternal life.

Dear God, when the thought of death fills me with anxiety and doubt, remind me of the words of Psalm 23:4 – “Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.” May this verse be a source of comfort and strength as I journey towards the promise of eternal life.

It is with God that mercy and complete redemption are found; let us pray in the manner that Jesus instructed us to pray:

“Our Father…”

The 23rd Psalm
Because the LORD is my shepherd, I will never be in need.
He causes me to lie down in verdant pastures, and he guides me to locations where there are still waters.
He restores my soul, and for the sake of His name, He guides me along the ways of righteousness.
In spite of the fact that I am traversing the valley of the shadow of death, I will not be afraid of any harm because you are with me; your rod and your staff are the things that bring me comfort.
You set a table in front of me in the midst of my adversaries; you anoint my head with oil; my cup is filled to the extent that it overflows.

There is no doubt that I will be surrounded by goodness and mercy during the entirety of my existence, and I will reside in the house of the LORD for all of eternity.
Let us pray: Lord Jesus, our Redeemer, you freely gave yourself up to death so that all people may be rescued and pass from death to new life. Thank you for your sacrifice.
Please pay attention to our prayers, and look with compassion upon those who are grieving and praying for their brother or sister.

Please pardon N for his or her transgressions, Lord Jesus, who is holy and loving.
Because of your death, you have opened the doors of life for those who have faith in you. Do not allow our brother or sister to be separated from you; rather, by your wonderful might, provide him or her light, joy, and serenity in heaven, where you will continue to live and reign forever and ever.

Thank you.
I pray that the Lord would grant him or her eternal rest, and that the light of eternity will shine upon him or her.
He or she deserves to be at ease.

Thank you.
We pray that the all-powerful God, who is the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, may bless us with his peacefulness and strength.

Thank you.
