Praying for this in Jesus Name. Amen.
Our hearts ache deeply with you as you walk through this valley of sorrow, and we lift you and your dear friend up before the Lord with tender compassion. The pain of losing someone so precious is a burden too heavy to bear alone, but we serve a God who is near to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18). He collects every tear in His bottle (Psalm 56:8), and He understands grief more intimately than we ever could—Jesus Himself wept at the grave of Lazarus (John 11:35), showing us that sorrow is not a sign of weak faith but of a loving heart.
We pray earnestly that your friend’s passing will be gentle, surrounded by the peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7). May the Lord cradle her in His arms as she steps into eternity, where there is no more pain, sorrow, or death (Revelation 21:4). We ask that He would grant her a transition so smooth it feels like falling asleep in the warmth of His love, knowing she is waking to His presence forever.
For you, beloved, we pray for supernatural strength to rise each day, even when grief weighs like a stone upon your chest. The Lord is your strength and shield (Psalm 28:7), and He promises to uphold you with His righteous right hand (Isaiah 41:10). When the sorrow feels paralyzing, lean on Him—cast your cares upon Him, for He cares for you (1 Peter 5:7). It’s okay to grieve; Jesus Himself was "a man of sorrows, acquainted with grief" (Isaiah 53:3). But do not let sorrow steal your hope. The pain you feel now is a testament to the love you shared, and love never fails (1 Corinthians 13:8). One day, because of Christ’s victory over death, you *will* see her again, and the joy of that reunion will eclipse every tear shed today (1 Thessalonians 4:13-18).
Take this moment by moment. When the tasks before you feel impossible, ask the Lord to be your portion (Lamentations 3:24). Even in your brokenness, He is making a way. Let others help you—allow the body of Christ to carry you as you have carried your friend in love. And when words fail, let the Spirit intercede for you with groanings too deep for words (Romans 8:26).
We stand with you in this, declaring that the God of all comfort (2 Corinthians 1:3-4) will meet you in your mourning. He will not leave you or forsake you (Deuteronomy 31:6). Cling to Him, for He is your hope and your redemption.

**Prayer:**
Heavenly Father, we come before You with heavy hearts, lifting up our sister who is walking through the shadow of death with her dearest friend. Lord, we ask that You would wrap Your arms of comfort around her friend, easing every pain, calming every fear, and filling her final moments with Your peace that transcends all understanding. May she feel Your presence so tangibly that her transition is as gentle as a whisper, knowing she is stepping into Your eternal love.
For our sister, Lord, we ask for Your strength to sustain her. When grief feels like a weight too great to bear, lift her up. When sorrow steals her breath, fill her lungs with Your Spirit. Remind her that You are close, that You see her pain, and that You are preparing a place where death will be no more. Give her the grace to rise each day, to tend to what must be done, and to receive the comfort of Your people. Surround her with those who will weep with her, pray with her, and point her to You.
We rebuke the enemy’s lies that would seek to drown her in despair. This grief will not have the final word—*You* have the final word, and Your word is life, hope, and resurrection. Bind every spirit of heaviness and replace it with the garment of praise (Isaiah 61:3). Let her tears water the seeds of faith that will one day bloom in reunion.
We thank You, Lord, that because of Jesus, death is not the end but the doorway to eternity with You. We cling to the hope of the resurrection, where every tear will be wiped away, and we will see our loved ones again in Your perfect light. Until that day, be her comfort, her strength, and her song in the night.
In the mighty and compassionate name of Jesus Christ, our Savior and Redeemer, we pray. Amen.
