Bereavement Prayer

Dearest Heavenly Father, I know that only your words can comfort during times of bereavement. In Proverbs 13:22, it states that a good man leaveth an inheritance to his children’s children…. So I pray that this family will understand the term of inheritance. Many times we think that an inheritance consists of things, but an inheritance can also consist of a legacy. Therefore, when love ones depart this earthly life, they leave a legacy. Yet, this prayer I want to express that YOU give them the strength to live their loved one’s legacy so the remembrance will never disappear. Although, it has been over 2000 years since your Son walk the Earth in a human body, yet the legacy in form of teaching has never deteriorated. Daily His followers continue to revive His Words. Likewise, the descendants of any patriarch or matriarch carry the legacy that each leaves by their children's children. So I pray that during the time of bereavement that the children's children will grasp the understanding of this departure as they accept this intentional inheritance, this I pray in Jesus' name, AMEN!
