We come before the Lord with heavy hearts, lifting up this grieving family who has lost their beloved son, husband, and father. The pain of loss is deep, and the void left behind feels unbearable, but we know that our God is near to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18). We pray that the Holy Spirit, the Comforter, would wrap His loving arms around this family, bringing peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7).
Father, we thank You for the life of this man, a Christian who walked with You, loved his wife, and embraced fatherhood with grace. We rejoice that he is now in Your presence, free from the suffering of muscular dystrophy, and we trust in Your promise that there will be no more pain, sorrow, or death in Your kingdom (Revelation 21:4). Lord, we ask that You would strengthen the faith of this family, reminding them that this separation is only temporary. Help them to hold fast to the hope of the resurrection, where they will be reunited with their loved one in glory (1 Thessalonians 4:13-14).
We pray especially for his wife, that You would be her refuge and strength in this time of overwhelming sorrow. May she find solace in Your Word and in the memories of a marriage built on Your foundation. Lord, we ask that You would provide for her every need—emotionally, spiritually, and physically—as she navigates this new season of life. Surround her with Your people, who will walk alongside her with love and encouragement (Galatians 6:2).
For their adopted child and grandchild, we pray that You would be their ever-present help in this time of loss. Comfort them with the knowledge that their father and grandfather was a man of faith, and that his legacy of love and devotion to You will continue to impact their lives. Give them the strength to lean on You and on one another as they grieve together.
Lord, we also lift up the extended family and friends who are mourning this loss. May Your peace guard their hearts and minds, and may they find unity in their shared faith and love for one another. Help them to support each other in practical ways, bearing one another’s burdens as You have called us to do (Galatians 6:2).
We rebuke the spirit of despair that seeks to take hold of this family in their grief. We declare that You are the God of all comfort, and that Your grace is sufficient for them, even in their weakness (2 Corinthians 12:9). We pray that they would not grieve as those who have no hope, but that they would find strength in the promise of eternal life through Jesus Christ (1 Thessalonians 4:13).
Father, we ask that You would draw this family closer to You and to one another through this trial. May their faith be refined like gold, and may they emerge from this season with a deeper trust in Your goodness and sovereignty. Help them to fix their eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of their faith, who endured the cross for the joy set before Him (Hebrews 12:2).
In the precious name of Jesus, we pray, believing that You hear us and that Your will be done in this family’s life. Amen.

We're here, standing with you in spirit, holding this hurting family close to our hearts.

For the wife, we're lifting her up, asking God to be her refuge and strength. We're praying that she'll find solace in His Word and in the beautiful memories of their life together. We're asking God to meet her every need, and to send loving friends and family to walk alongside her in this new season.
For the child and grandchild, we're praying that God will be their constant help and comfort. We're asking Him to remind them of their father's and grandfather's faith, and to give them the strength to lean on each other and on Him as they grieve.

Beloved of All
Praying for you and your request in Jesus.
Have we ever really meditated on Matthew 6 where Jesus instructs us to take no thought for our lives? I have looked at this in terms of the rest of the Bible where I have learned to claim His Promises in Jesus and take on His thoughts for my life. Thank You Lord Jesus for Blessing me to learn to stop thinking about my life, learn to take on Your thoughts for my life and so much more for Your Glory and my good in Jesus! Amen! Thank You Jesus! Glory to You Lord Jesus!!!
Do you Believe Jesus died for our sins, is Risen from the dead, is Preparing a place for us and is about to call us to join Him?
Are you watching for Jesus in the Clouds of Glory? Jesus is about to call us to join Him!
We can do everything Jesus did and more! We can speak; sickness leave in Jesus! Be healed by Jesus stripes! I am healed by Jesus stripes! Amen! Thank You Lord Jesus!
You can copy and paste this to pray every day and share...
There is nothing that happens for us that is bad except our thoughts about what is happening to us. The Bible says All things work together for our good in Jesus! Look at everything as good!
Sing through out your days Thank You Jesus, Praise You Jesus, Glory to You Lord Jesus or anything that is on your heart to sing to Jesus! It doesn't matter how we sound, Angels will join in with us and Jesus will join in with us as well as fight for us, knock down walls for us, open locks for us, save people for us, evil will flee from us, He heals us and He will over flow His Holy Peace in us.
Praying for others on here and reading your Bible will help you tremendously.
I wanted to commit suicide once, I even came up with a plan. Right before I headed out the door I posted a prayer on here and hoping there might be help from God one last time I opened the Bible and only read take no thought for your life from Matthew 6. I read that before at least 100 times but never really could understand how. This time I took it to heart, all right God I will end my life by not thinking about it. I take no thought, I take no thought, I take no thought over and over and over again I take no thought was my only thought that day. All of a sudden I noticed something, Jesus showed up, all my pains were gone, no neck ache, no back pain, no leg pain from many many accidents I had over the years and no pain in my heart as my wife had left me. I started singing praises and thanks to Jesus and my life has never been the same. My wife returned. It is our obedience to God from His Holy Instructions that makes a difference to His Power of His Promises in our lives.
Be a doer of Jesus friend, it really makes a difference! Thank You Lord Jesus! All things work together for my good in Jesus!
Search the Bible for Jesus' Promises friend, do them and claim them in Jesus! Amen! Thank You Lord Jesus! Glory to You Lord Jesus!!!
Powerful healing promise hidden in Proverbs 3:7-8, I am not wise in my own eyes, I fear You Lord, I depart from evil, especially my own evil thoughts and my flesh is healed and my body is refreshed in Jesus.
Praying for others especially in your situation will help you tremendously in yours friend.
Take no thought for your life dear friend and Jesus will take thought for you. Sing praises and thanks to Jesus and He will overflow His Holy Spirit in you and so much more. He will fight for you and give you the desires of your heart.
Pray this prayer look up the verses and pray it again with your friends and family and let's mount up with wings as eagles and soar. Soar with me.
Let Us Pray: God I ask in Jesus' name, bless me to grow closer to You. I long for a more intimate relationship with You. God I take You at Your Word, if I will draw closer to You, You will draw closer to me (James 4:8). Show me how to draw closer to You. Bless me daily to cast off and forsake my thoughts and ways for my life, and exchange them for Your thoughts and ways for my life. Let me think Your thoughts and dream Your dreams for my life. God bless me to live and walk in Your love, mercy and forgiveness (Isaiah 55:7). I confess, I will take no thought for my life. I will trust You Father God to take thought for me and take care of me (Mathew 6:25-34). I will not be wise in my own eyes, I will fear You Lord and depart from evil and my flesh will be healed and my body will be refreshed (Proverbs 3:7-8) daily. Thank You Jesus for Your Promises!
