Prayer for someone who lost a loved one

It is never easy to lose a loved one. This prayer will help you in your time of need and brings peace when it's spoken aloud, so please keep this sentiment close at hand for whenever someone dear leaves our lives or passes away themselves.

Dear Lord,

Heavenly God, I come to you today to pray for those who have lost a loved one.

Their time of need to be reassured by your faith and eternal love is now, and as you bless those who mourn, but they be comforted by your love.

May they face each day with the hope and certainty they need to recover from the loss they are experiencing.

As you hold time in your hands, please carry those who have lost a loved one through this difficult time, and allow them the space and time to weep and grieve so that they may know the promise of heaven has been granted to those passed.

Give them a flame to shine in the dark, so that they may see their future with hope and walk with them so they don't lose their way.

May their memories be joyful, their days enriched with love and friendship and their lives be forever encircled by your love.

Allow them please to rest in your arms as they are forgiven for what they cannot face at this time.

Amen.
