Please Pray For Me As I Will Sing At My Mom's Funeral On Wednesday.

Dear Prayer Partners

I was a singer. I have just started to get my voice back and my piano skills after a brain injury about 10 years ago.

Among the many things that I had lost from that, was singing and piano skills . That was one of my joys.

I had sang since around 2 or 3 years of age and had my first solo at a mother's day tea of "How Great Thou Art" at age 5.

I then was allowed to sing a solo at our school Christmas concert in grade 1 "Away in a Manger."

Lately, my piano is starting to sound better and my voice is coming back. Although some days it is more mono tone than pretty. : (

It is my hope to return to a worship team and sing for seniors and at the ladies ministries as before. I also write.

My mom always had loved to hear me sing and to sing herself. While dying in the hospital and basically unconscious, I would softly sing some hymns and chorus'

during the night as well as read to her from the Bible. I would be sad but God would fill me with a deep sense of his peace and love as I read on!!! Praise God!!!

Now, my step dad has asked me to sing a solo at her funeral this Wednesday. I have sang at a friends funeral some years ago, and was able to keep from crying until afterward.

I would like prayer for me to be able to do this last thing for my mom and for my step dad. I would like prayer for God to make my voice true and for me to sing with reverence and emotion but not with sobbing,

I am used to a tear sliding down my face when I sing, but I really do not want to break down during the song. I would also like prayer for guidance from God to lead me to the right song that will speak joyfully of

His love for us. I would like prayer for me to sing on tune and for me to remember the words and tune. I may be singing without accompaniment which was not a problem in the past. I would like prayer for

confidence and peace and the ability to look above the heads and just for that moment forget about this being my mom's funeral, but just focus on God and Jesus and their love for us, as I would have in Church while

singing with the worship team.

Thank you so much for this opportunity to ask for this. And for all of your prayers.

I also need prayer for my family as there is some tension and misunderstandings regarding mom's wishes. Please pray for peace among us and for mom's wishes to be upheld. I pray especially for my brother

to let go of his temper and anger and defensiveness or whatever is leading him to act out. I pray for his and his girlfriend to be saved also.

In Jesus name I pray , AMEN

Lord, I pray for Bev to sing well at her Mom's funeral. Let her not be worried about what others think or how she sounds, but just to sing to you in honor of the mother you gave to her.

Show and enable her how to continue to seek opportunities and improve in those things that she enjoys doing.

Help her to be strong throughout this and for the family issues to be resolved in a fair and friendly manner. In Jesus Name, Amen.

Amazing and Blessed God - thank You for the life of Bev's mother - for her influence in raising a beautiful Christian daughter, for her courage and strength during her illness. We praise You for receiving her in heaven and releasing her from all earthly pain and suffering. Lord, I too pray that You would bless Bev's solo with Your tender mercy and grace. May she make a joyful sound as she focuses on You - allow the great love she has for her mother to shine through. I pray You would encourage her to continue singing and playing the piano, to embrace the gifts You have given her. May Your peace and tolerance settle in over these family matters. Pierce this brother's heart and allow the peace of Jesus to flow in. We praise You for taking care of this family and being their comfort during this time. In Jesus' name, amen.

Thank you so much for these prayers! My mom's funeral was on Wednesday Jan 5th. It was a beautiful service and celebration of her life

with a message of the hope in Christ our precious saviour. I had prayed for song choices and felt I should combine "All for Jesus" with "Ancient Words".

I was a little shaky for the first lines of All for Jesus but as I sang "I surrender all into thy hands" an immense peace came upon me. And, I was able to barely cry as I

looked upon the cross at the back of the Church wall. I am so thankful that I could do this for my mom and for my step-dad. God was surely there and the

congregation seemed very focused on the words. Thank you so much for your prayers.

This was my first time to sing in a couple of years and my voice is just returning but God made it work. And although I did sing one verse as a chorus in error, I was able

to continue and then switch the chorus to a verse. I broke down only when I returned to my husband's side in the pew. Thank you. God taught me that I can for others

funerals now. I had only sang at one friends prior and had declined before. I feel this could be one thing I could do as I get back into life. In Jesus name AMEN.
