Heavenly Father, as we gather here to lay Irving Clayton to rest, our hearts are heavy with grief, yet anchored in hope.
Your Word promises that you are close to the brokenhearted and save those who are crushed in spirit. So we ask for your comfort now, to rest upon Irving's family and loved ones, to mend their hearts and wipe away their tears.
We thank you for the assurance we have in your Son, Jesus Christ. We cling to His words when He said, 'Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me. My Father's house has many rooms… I am going there to prepare a place for you.' We find great peace in knowing that Irving placed his faith and trust in Jesus, and that he is now in your presence, in the place you have prepared for him."
And for those of us who remain and mourn on this earth, may our hearts be encouraged by the promise that we, too, will one day go to the place God has prepared for us—a place where, 'He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.' We look forward to that glorious day when we will be reunited with him and all those who have gone before us in faith.
In the name of our Father, the master of the deep and the keeper of our souls we pray. Amen
