Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.

A prayer when death is near







WHEN DEATH IS NEAR


As we walk through this valley,
we come to you, Lord God.
In our sadness, may we
know your comfort,

in our darkness, may we sense your presence;
in our bleakness, may we discover your hope;
in our anguish, may we find your strength.
Come and walk with us,

Lord Jesus, we pray. May we know
we are not alone: may you come
alongside us on every step of our journey,
even in this gloom. Give us direction when
we don’t know which way to turn; give us
courage when the path gets narrow and rocky;
give us peace when the way becomes uncertain.
Give us a glimpse of your hope,
we pray, in Christ’s name.

Amen.
