Morning Prayer For The Family Of Someone Dying

Matters of death and life are beyond human control. Ecclesiastes 3:2 (A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;) says that there is a time to be born and a time to die. Eventually, each of us will have to face the loss of someone we love, as well as our own mortality. When a loved one’s time is running out, it can be a very painful, heavy, and sad season that a family must face and accept.

As you are looking for a morning prayer for the family of someone you know who is dying, may God empower you as you carry His presence towards this family and person, and may your light shine in Christ Jesus.

Here is a morning prayer for the family of someone who is dying: 

Heavenly Father, I praise Your name and magnify Your goodness as I lift unto you this particular family. Thank You for comforting them, giving them strength, and being in their midst as their loved one is about to die. May You give them peace and hope in Christ, even as they go through this difficult phase in life, in Jesus’ name. Amen.

It is in these difficult seasons of life that one can honestly know who their true friends are. You are here because you are looking for a prayer for someone who is dying and their family because you care. You are needed, especially in this season of their life.

Keep praying for the family, as well as the dying person. If the family or the ill person is not yet saved, declare salvation to this person. If you have boldness and courage, you can share the Gospel and the good news that Jesus Christ brings about eternal life through Him. He said in John 10:28, “And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.”

How do you pray for someone whose family member is dying

If you know someone whose family member is dying, and this person is close to your heart, such news can also cause you pain. After all, friends will always share not just joy and laughter but tears and pain as well.

As you are already saying a morning prayer for the family, your prayers are helpful and impactful in the spirit realm. Your prayers release encouragement, hope, peace, comfort, and the presence of God upon the family of someone who is dying. Proverbs 18:21 says that there is power in the tongue and in the words you speak. So as you pray to God for your friend, their family, and the person dying, speak words of life, salvation, God’s peace, and comfort. You can pray, “Thank You, Father, for this family is more than a conqueror through Christ. They will overcome this situation, in Jesus’ name!” If the Holy Spirit leads you, you may even declare miracles, healing, and life upon the sick and dying family member in Jesus’ name.

After all, we are serving a God who is able to raise the dead, heal the sick, cast out demons, and free the oppressed and tormented. Jesus Christ said, “Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give” (Matthew 10:8).

Allow the Holy Spirit to lead you in your prayer. Let Him reveal and show you how to pray for this family and the person who is dying. Our God is a miracle-working God, and no matter the outcomes of your prayers, you can trust that He will be faithful and full of wisdom in all His ways.

How to comfort the family of someone who is dying 

As mentioned earlier, your prayers for this family are already powerful and impactful. You have God’s compassion to say a morning prayer for them or whenever the Holy Spirit prompts you to, which is an act of pure love that glorifies God.

It helps to comfort the family of someone who is dying by telling them that you are praying for them. It gives them strength and hope, knowing that they are not alone in the battle. You can say, “I am praying for your family,” or “I am with you in this journey. Know that you have me if you need anything.” These are words that can bring comfort to a friend whose family member is dying. Sometimes, words aren’t enough to comfort and ease the pain, but your presence, representing the Kingdom of life and light of Jesus Christ, is already a great comfort. So, be present, let your compassion be felt by this family, and let the Holy Spirit lead you, whether that is to speak or to listen.

If you have the opportunity to share the Gospel, you can even share God’s words of comfort for the family or to your friend. If they are willing to listen, you may invite your pastor or leader to share words of encouragement and the Word of God in order to uplift their faith.

Know that you are not alone in this journey. God is with you as you seek to comfort and pray for this family. God is so proud of who you are, and may He continue to empower you to shine the light of Christ for all to see.“Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven” – Matthew 5:16
