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.
