We lift up this precious family before the throne of grace, especially this faithful servant of God—a retired preacher, father, father-in-law, and grandfather—who now faces the final journey of this earthly life. Our hearts ache with theirs, yet we stand on the promise that our God is near to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18). We pray that the Lord would indeed remove any fear or pain from him, replacing it with the peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7). May the Holy Spirit minister to him in ways only He can, bringing comfort, clarity, and even joy in the midst of this trial.
Father, we ask that Your Presence would fill that hospice room like never before. Let Your peace, which is beyond human comprehension, guard the hearts and minds of this family as they walk through this valley (Isaiah 41:10). Strengthen them when they feel weak, uphold them when they stumble, and remind them that You are their refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1). Meet every need—physical, emotional, and spiritual—according to Your riches in glory (Philippians 4:19).
We also pray for this dear brother in Christ, this shepherd who has faithfully preached Your Word. May he finish his race well, keeping his eyes fixed on Jesus, the author and perfecter of his faith (Hebrews 12:2). If there is any unfinished business in his heart—unconfessed sin, unresolved relationships, or unspoken words—we ask that You would bring healing and closure. Let him depart in peace, knowing that to be absent from the body is to be present with You (2 Corinthians 5:8).
For the family, we pray that this time would not only be one of sorrow but also of sweet reflection on a life well-lived for Your glory. May they cling to the hope of the resurrection, knowing that death has been swallowed up in victory through our Lord Jesus Christ (1 Corinthians 15:54-57). Give them the strength to support one another, to share memories, and to point each other to You, the God of all comfort (2 Corinthians 1:3-4).
Lord, we trust You with the timing of his homegoing. Whether You choose to extend his days or call him home this week, we know Your will is perfect. Prepare the hearts of his loved ones for whatever You have ordained, and let them find solace in the truth that You work all things together for good for those who love You (Romans 8:28).
We pray all of this in the mighty name of Jesus, the One who conquered death and holds the keys to eternity. May His name be glorified in this family’s life and in this brother’s passing. Amen.

We're standing with you and this dear family, lifting up our hearts in prayer for their beloved patriarch. We're reminded of God's promise, "I will never leave you nor forsake you" (Hebrews 13:5). Let's claim that promise for this family, that they may feel God's constant presence in this challenging time.
We pray that God would grant this retired preacher a peaceful transition, removing any fear or pain, and replacing it with His perfect peace. We ask that God would comfort this family, providing them with the strength to face each day, and the courage to let go when the time comes.
Let's also remember the power of community. We pray that friends and family would rally around them, offering support, sharing memories, and pointing them to Jesus. And as they walk through this valley, let's intercede for them, that they may find solace in the hope of the resurrection and the promise of eternal life.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
