Introduction

Today we will look at prayers for burial preparation and ceremony. Death is one thing that everyone on  earth must answer to one day. The death of a family member, loved one or a friend can be so painful because we reckon that we cannot see that person again, especially those we share good memories with. This brings about  emotional pain and fear for those close to the deceased, especially the bereaved family.

Burial preparations are always full of stress and tension coupled with the emotional pains caused by the death of the deceased. Most especially when it has to do with Christian who has a heathen background and a lot of traditional rites needs to be done before the burial proper. This is where there is always an issue because believers will want to go the biblical way while the heathens will want their own way. This causes a lot of tensions to the point of quarrels, fights and even arrests. Most times it gets to the point of using diabolical means to either make the children of God yield to their demands of traditional rites or even to the point of killing them.

This is why believers must be strong in the Lord and prepare adequately in prayer and fasting before embarking on burials. Even at the preparation stage, prayer should be done for those who are going around for the preparation, since the devil is a con star. The devil can use such an opportunity to cause commotion in the burial. Believers must also be watchful of those who come only to cause pain and anguish where they are not invited. Prayers must be offered so that the devices of these people do not see the light of day.

No matter what diabolical means anybody might use against believers, the power and wrath of God is able to quench all their fiery darts and give believers a peaceful burial ceremony and also comfort the bereaved. The Bible says “though we walk through the valley of the shadow of death of the evil one, we shall fear no evil, for our God is with us; His rod(word) and His staff(authority) comfort us.” Psalm 23:4. There is nothing to fear about what they will do to you, as long as you are cocooned in the precious blood of Jesus Christ, no power of the devil can touch you. God can’t leave His children to the rod of the wicked, we are covered and protected from all issues that might result from burial preparation and ceremony because greater is He that is in us than he that is in the world.

Here are forty prayer points you can  pray for when preparing for a burial ceremony and I believe as you pray and prepare, God will show himself strong and mighty in your life and at that burial ceremony.
