We have compiled a series of prayers and biblical quotes to be read aloud (or in privacy) and so on mourn the loss of a close deceased: mother, father, family member, friend. We understand that these moments can be very difficult.
The Lord hears your cries and soon you will be at peace. We hope that these powerful prayers can be a comfort to you and your family in this delicate situation.
List of prayers for the deceased
Prayer for the soul to rest in peace
We thank you Lord for the passing of our brother / sister. We exalt Your name for the good life that He lived. We ask you, oh Lord, to be given eternal life. And while he or she remains in Your garden, let Your angels touch what he or she cannot touch again. Father, stay with his soul and may he rest in perfect eternal peace. Amen
Prayer for a mother or father
Dear Father, I thank you for taking care of my father / mother during his life on Earth. I thank you for giving them the opportunity to bring me into this world and I also thank you for the opportunity to have this prayer. I rejoice in the life he led in life and the good works he did. Lord God, I pray for the soul of my late father / mother and to take care of him / her on their way to Your holy Kingdom. I thank you for hearing my prayers, oh Lord, Amen.
Prayer for lament
Lord God, on high you are, we, your humble children, kneel before you today in reverence. We know that you are the greatest and that you are the king of all kings. So, we ask you to lift up our hearts and souls so that we can cast off our sorrows, oh Lord. Give us the strength to overcome this situation. No one dies without You saying so and so we rejoice in this triumph and ask You to be with our deceased brother / sister. We thank you for answered prayer and in Jesus name, Amen.
Prayer for a brother / sister
From what I remember, my brother / sister has been with me through all the ups and downs of life. We ate and played together, we gave each other advice and we did not hide anything. Now, seeing that he is gone, I pray that I find eternal life and eternal happiness in Your mighty embrace. I beg You to take care of your wife / husband / children / investments on Earth and that Your gaze does not change, oh Lord. I thank you for this prayer session and in the name of Jesus, I beg you. Amen.
Biblical quotes about the deceased
(Hebrews 2: 14) So, since the children participated in flesh and blood, he also participated in the same, to destroy through death the one who had the empire of death, that is, the devil,
(Hebrews 2: 15) and to free all those who for fear of death were subject to servitude throughout their lives.
Finally, in Romans, we can find another reference. We hope that these hard moments of regret are short and soon you can regain normalcy in life with God, our Lord:
(Romans 8: 23) and not only her, but also we ourselves, who have the first fruits of the Spirit, we also groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, the redemption of our body.
