Guide us in our grief, Lord, and help us to find peace amidst our heartache. Let Your Holy Spirit bring healing to our broken hearts and fill us with the strength to carry on. May we honor the memory of those who have departed by living lives rooted in love and grace.

Help us to share Your message of hope with others, encouraging them to lean on You in times of trouble. Fill our spirits with joy even in mourning, as we remember Your promises and the reunion that awaits us. Let our faith shine as a beacon amidst the darkness, pointing to the love and light found in You.

In Jesus’ name, we pray,

Amen.
