Commontide

For Help to Bear Bereavement

Heavenly Father, help us to entrust our loved ones to your care. Though sorrow darkens our lives, help us to look up to you, remembering the cloud of witnesses by which we are surrounded. And grant that we on earth, rejoicing ever in your presence, may share with them the rest and peace which your presence gives; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Psalm 4

To the choirmaster: with stringed instruments. A Psalm of David.

Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness; you set me free when I was in trouble; have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer.

O you children of men, how long will you blaspheme my honor, and have such pleasure in vanity, and seek after falsehood?

Know this also, that the Lord has chosen for himself the one that is godly; when I call upon the Lord, he will hear me.

Stand in awe, and sin not; commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still.

Offer the sacrifice of righteousness and put your trust in the Lord.

There are many that say, “Who will show us any good?” Lord, lift up the light of your countenance upon us.

You have put gladness in my heart, more than when others’ grain and wine and oil increased.

I will lay me down in peace, and take my rest; for you, Lord, only, make me dwell in safety.
