✝️ Good Memories of a Precious Life ✝️

A Spoken-Word Prayer
(Psalm 116:12–19 • 2 Peter 1:11–13 • Acts 2:42–47)

Father in Heaven,

I pray in Jesus Christ✝️ name as Your Holy Spirit dwells…

Lord, tonight I come before You
with gratitude in my heart
and remembrance on my mind.
Asking what David did.
What shall I render unto the Lord✝️
for all His✝️ benefits toward me?

And Father, when I think about
this remnant👍🏾 and
the life You✝️ have allowed me👍🏾 to witness—
the family You placed me in,
the love that was shown,
the example that was lived—
Leading to Christ✝️
becoming my own
Savior,
I realize that some memories
are not just moments…

They are your works
Lived out loud
among ⛪️ us that live
In this ✝️ body.
The same one broken for us
and now this prayer
Is in remembrance of
The only one capable
Of ushering my matriarch
Home into your presence
May she dance endlessly,
gracefully before you with
Reverence.

Tonight, Father✝️,
I thank You
for this precious life,
My grandmother,
Given us
To show us
Life in Your church.
A life that gave.
Leading to a life saved
My mother!
So I thank you
for my grandmother’s example tonight
For her life that was well lived
A life that served.
A life that stood.
A life that showed
what it meant to love,
what it meant to endure,
what it meant to remain.

Now I can understand your
Your Psalm that sings spiritually,
“precious in the sight of the Lord
is the death of His saints.”
To remind us that
what we remember, Father,
is not loss alone—
it’s value revealed.

It’s a life that mattered.
A life that still speaks.
A life that taught
even when no words were said.
To the point
Now I’m in place
Where I can understand
how to think rightly
about those
within my immediate family

I can better understand Love.
Not just as emotion alone.
Nor just memories.
Your Word✝️ as it relates to your saints
Gives value to every
Memory.
Like,
The first understanding of Who you are
Coming from a house
Of a choir member
A trustee
A grounds worker
That lead to the ministry of my mother
And my aunt.
Now I can remember
And assigned value so much
Better
Because my grandmother
Lived
a Precious life.

To this Lord✝️,
let me remember in truth.
Let us of my family
remember in peace and honor.
of a precious life.
Because her good memories
are not just about the past—
they are about how we carry people
forward in our heart
the right way.

So for 🕊️ I pray
She🕊️ keeps her 🕊️ loved ones
In her heart that allows her 🕊️
to reflect You✝️.
Help her 🕊️ see them
for who they are to You✝️.
Not limited by what I saw,
but lifted by what You✝️ declared.
Not bound by time,
but grounded in truth.

And Lord,
as Your Word says in Peter,
to be stirred up
by way of remembrance—
So for 👍🏾us🕊️
“no matter what”
Help us endeavor to make
Good memories
As we live life in the Spirit
As brothers and sisters in Christ✝️
Through a mindset that says”
“first things first!”

Let this memory steer 👍🏾us🕊️
toward faithfulness.
Towards gratitude.
The proper attitude,
And the continual
honoring of what was given.

Life!

Then therefore from this reflection
May we therefore rejoice
For another precious soul
That that has just
beheld your presence
On this day you have made
and share among our own who has found,
Rest.

In Jesus Christ✝️ name I pray and give thanks. Amen. 🕊️😴💤🌙
