Prayer 2297: For a Funeral for a Friend


Holy One,
we bow before you in gratitude,
aware of the hand of grace uphold us in our lives.
You, O God, are abounding in mercy:
You know our sorrows and our joys,
and are with us always.
We give you thanks and praise always
for all your blessings, O Lord of Life.
You are ever-present North Star,
and your guiding love is ever before us,
leading us on in discipleship and communion.
Be our shade and comfort, O Blessed Savior,
as we laugh and as we weep,
as we celebrate and as we mourn,
we humbly pray.
Spirit of the Living God,
breathe upon us your peace,
and comfort and shield all those
whom we remember before our God
as we pray.

Amen.
