I have received a prayer requiest. Please pray for John, especially today.
I have a prayer request for my best friend, John. His mother passed away last Sept after a long battle with Cancer. Her birthday is this Thursday (July 3.) It’s been a long lonely year for John.. he is an only child, raised by mom, no ties with his father, and not really close with relatives. Any prayer of comfort and peace through the weekend would help a lot. Thank you.
Most loving God,
you know the pain and sorrow of death;
mercifully hear our prayer for those
who mourn the death of their beloved.
The nights are lonely and the days are too long.
Comfort them and bring an end to the days of tears.
Bless them and bring an end to their days of sorrow.
Renew them with the joy of life and bring to an
end their days of mourning.
Let the bond of love which you have for your
people be the foundation of their hope that
love never ends and that precious moments
with our beloved are forever held dear in our hearts.
Amen.
