A PRAYER FOR PATIENTS FACING IMMINENT DEATH

Father God,
Thank You for creating me in Your image.
Thank You for convicting me of sin and granting me eternal life by faith through grace in Your Son, Jesus Christ.
Thank You for sustaining me through Your Spirit. As I confront the moment of my imminent death, comfort me in my suffering, give me peace from my fears, surround me with Your loving presence in my loneliness.
I place my trust in You alone and pray that You will carry Your servant home through Your Son, Jesus. Amen.



For I am sure that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Romans 8:38-39 (RSV)
