Prayer is one of the most powerful tools in the world. It’s been said that it can even move mountains, but did you know it can also help someone dying? Whether you are a believer or not, praying for someone who is near death is incredibly powerful and may help them receive comfort and peace as they transition over to the other side. This list contains some examples of specific prayers that can be said for someone who is dying:
Powerful Prayers For Someone Dying
1. Dear Lord,
Dear Lord,
I come before you today with a heavy heart. I pray for mercy and healing for my family member [grandmother/father/aunt]. I ask that he [she] be granted peace and comfort during this difficult time. Give him [her] courage to face death without fear or anger. Grant him [her] strength to walk through these last moments of life with dignity and grace, allowing his [her] legacy to be one of joy instead of sorrow. Guide us so that we may provide the best care possible for him [her], as well as our family members who will be affected by his passing away.
2. Father God,
Father God, you are the creator of all things. You are love itself, and without your presence in this world, we could not exist. Your love extends to every living thing on Earth: flowers, trees, animals… and people.
You are the source of life itself—the very breath we take comes from you. You have given us bodies that allow us to experience joy and to learn from our mistakes during our time here on Earth; but there is an even greater gift awaiting us when our earthly lives end: eternal life in heaven with you!
But father God, most importantly right now I ask that you would surround this person with your divine presence as they transition into death’s embrace. Help them find peace in their final moments so that they may enter into eternal rest knowing they will one day see thee again!
3. Almighty and eternal God,
- Be humble.
- Be truthful.
- Be compassionate.
- Be patient.
- Forgive and understand, for you know every person’s situation and heart, as well as their intentions in life.
- Love them deeply with your whole soul and mind, not just with words but from the depths of your being.
- Be merciful towards those who have sinned against them in any way at all; do not hold grudges or resentment, for such feelings only hurt yourself through bitterness or anger rather than helping anyone else by hurting others back!
4. Holy Spirit,
Dear Holy Spirit,
I pray that you would fill my soul with your presence and love. You are the third person of the Trinity, God’s breath in the world. You are our comforter on this journey through life. I want to feel close to you every day, even when things seem dark or hopeless. You were given so that we could experience God’s love more fully–and how much more can we experience than being filled with God himself? Help me open myself up today so that I may receive you into my heart and be open to your light shining on all my actions throughout the day.
5. Heavenly Father,
Heavenly Father,
We come before you today to pray for a person who is dying. We know that they are going to die soon and we want to help them as much as possible. Please help them find peace in their passing so that they can rest peacefully and be ready for the next life. Give them strength and comfort during this time of transition so that their passing can be peaceful and painless. Help their family members through this difficult time so that they may accept what has happened with grace, humility, love, and hope.
Please also pray for all those who will have a role in helping this person die: doctors, nurses, hospital staff members – everyone involved! May there be peace among all of these people as well as between each other; may there be understanding instead of frustration when things don’t go quite as planned; may there always be kindness shown towards each other no matter how difficult the situation may become at times due to unforeseen circumstances beyond anyone’s control (such as equipment failure). In addition please pray especially hard over those who work within healthcare facilities because often times these jobs take a toll on employees’ mental health which could lead them down paths not suitable for working within such professions anymore after a while – please give them strength when needed most throughout all stages leading up until death occurs while providing guidance along the way so nothing goes wrong when administering medications or performing surgeries etcetera…
6. Lord Jesus Christ,
You are the only one who can save us, heal us, forgive us and bring us to heaven. We pray that you take your time with this person and prepare them for your kingdom. Help them to know that you care about their every need even in their dying moments on earth. Take away all fear from them so they will not be afraid when they face death but be ready for eternity in your presence.
7. Father Jesus Christ,
You can pray to Jesus Christ the Healer, Comforter, Savior, and Redeemer. He is the one who forgives all our sins. He will make you feel at peace and comfort you during this difficult time in your life.
He will give you the strength to deal with what has happened to your loved one.
8. O Sacred Heart of Jesus,
O Sacred Heart of Jesus,
who on the night that You were betrayed,
promised to remain with us until the end of time:
Come, then, and be our guest at this hour when we ask Your merciful assistance for one who is passing from earth to heaven. Come, O compassionate Christ! Come and comfort him in his sufferings, give him strength so that he may face death bravely without fear or sorrow. Give him the courage to bear his pain with patience, humility, and resignation to Your holy will as he prepares himself for eternal life with You in heaven. Let him know that all is well for those who trust in You alone; help him see beyond this world a better country where there is no sickness or suffering, but only everlasting joy and peace; enlighten the eyes of his soul so that he may see You standing beside him; hold his hand as he journeys through dark valleys toward light-filled hillsides where an endless spring awaits those who have lived their lives according to Your divine will on earth!
9. Remember to pray for those who are dying.
Prayers can help the dying person.
They can help them find peace, be at peace with their fate, and accept death as a natural part of life. They may also ease the burden of those who are watching them die.
Prayers for someone dying should include:
- Prayers for doctors and nurses to do their best to ease suffering and pain in this world.
- Prayers for family members who are feeling guilty over not being able to save their loved one (or not having been there when they needed help).
- Prayers that it might be easier on everyone if they could see what was going on around them while they were still alive; then again some people might prefer that they did not know what was happening until afterward.
Closing
As we have seen, there are many ways to pray for someone who is dying. You can ask God to help them through this last journey and give them peace. You can ask for their soul to be released from this world and make its way into the next one. Or you could simply offer up a prayer of thanksgiving that your loved one has lived as long as they did, even if it wasn’t as long as you would’ve liked! Prayers do not need to be complicated in order for the work; sometimes, all it takes is asking for guidance from above so that our words may carry more meaning than just speaking into empty air.”
Takeaway:
These prayers will help you get through the time when someone dear to you is dying – whether it’s a family member or a close friend.
When writing content like this, always focus on quality over quantity. Just because something sounds like an interesting topic doesn’t mean it’s going to generate any traffic or engagement on its own – after all, nobody wants their dying loved one prayed over by random strangers online! Don’t waste time coming up with ideas unless they’re really good ones; instead, prioritize creating high-quality pieces over churning out low-quality content whenever possible.”
