Psalm 116:1-2 NLT
Death wrapped its ropes around me; the terrors of the grave overtook me.
I saw only trouble and sorrow.
Then I called on the name of the Lord: “Please, Lord, save me!”
How kind the Lord is! How good he is! So merciful, this God of ours!
The Lord protects those of childlike faith; I was facing death, and he saved me.
Let my soul be at rest again, for the Lord has been good to me.
Death wrapped its ropes around me; the terrors of the grave overtook me.

Then I called on the name of the Lord: “Please, Lord, save me!”
How kind the Lord is! How good he is! So merciful, this God of ours!
The Lord protects those of childlike faith; I was facing death, and he saved me.
Let my soul be at rest again, for the Lord has been good to me.
He has saved me from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling.
And so I walk in the Lord’s presence as I live here on earth!
I believed in you, so I said, “I am deeply troubled, Lord.”
In my anxiety I cried out to you, “These people are all liars!”
What can I offer the Lord for all he has done for me?
I will lift up the cup of salvation and praise the Lord’s name for saving me.
I will keep my promises to the Lord in the presence of all his people.
Prayer:

Prayer:
Father,
You care deeply when Your loved ones die. O Lord, we are Your servants; yes, we are Your servants, born into Your household; You have freed us from our chains. We will offer You a sacrifice of thanksgiving and call on the name of the Lord. We will fulfill our vows to You, Lord, in the presence of all Your people - in the house of the Lord, in the heart of Jerusalem. Praise the Lord and Amen!
