Loving God, we hold in your healing presence those facing bereavement and those who are walking through the dark valley of grief. Be especially near to families who will remember loved ones at next week’s Eternity Sunday service.

                May they know the deep peace of Christ

We hold in your healing presence and peace those whose needs are not known to us but known to you.  In silence, we name in our hearts those whose pain we carry….

May they know the deep peace of Christ.

We also pray for our Household of Faith:

May they know the peace of Christ.

God of compassion and love, we offer you all our suffering and pain. Give us strength to bear our weakness, healing even when there is no cure, peace in the midst of turmoil and love to fill the spaces in our lives.

Glory to God from whom all love flows, glory to Jesus who showed his love through suffering, and glory to the Holy Spirit who brings light to the darkest of places.    Amen.
