Brothers and sisters,
A close elderly friend of mine, Gladys, died of cancer today at 9:20 AM. She helped teach me Sunday School when I was still an Evangelical Baptist.
I have no doubt that she died in God’s Grace, so I ask you to pray for her family and those she left behind.
As for me, I want to take a moment to offer up a personal prayer for her:
In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. +
God of the spirits and of all flesh, who have trampled death and annihilated the devil and given life to your world, may you yourself, O Lord, grant to the soul of your deceased servant Gladys rest in a place of light, a verdant place, a place of freshness, from where suffering, pain and cries are far removed. Do You, O good and compassionate God forgive every fault committed by her in word, work or thought because there is no man who lives and does not sin. You alone are without sin and your justice is justice throughout the ages and your word is truth. Since you, O Christ our God, are the resurrection, the life and the repose of your deceased servant Gladys, we give you glory together with your un-begotten Father and your most holy, good and life-creating Spirit, now and always and forever and ever.
In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. +
May she rest in the Lord Jesus. Amen.
