Dear Heavenly Father, I come to You in the name of Your Beloved Son Jesus and ask that you be with all here today that have lost a loved one or dear friend. Father I know that You understand the pain and loneliness of a broken heart and that You want above all for Your children to be at peace. Give each of us of Your strength that we may endure these days of celebration with a joyful heart. Thank you Father that we can know that You are with us and that Your merciful love covers us. Thank you that we can be assured that You will hear our prayers and answer them in Your will. In Jesus precious name. Amen.
