Prayer of the Widow or Widower
Lord of Heaven and Earth,
I praise you and thank you for the gift of my life
and especially for the gift of my Life Partner.
Even though it is painful and hurting me so much,
I accept your will in my life.
Yes Lord, I give him/her back into your loving arms.
I thank you for all the joyful and painful experiences
which I had in my life.
Lord the pain is too much.
Come and fill me
with your abiding and strengthening love.
Let Your Holy Spirit take full way over me.
Amen.
