Prayer for Pets
Animals bring such joy into our lives, but when a beloved dog or cat falls ill or passes away we can feel such sorrow and sadness. It is at times like these that you may want to pray and ask for God's blessing on your precious pet. On this page is a
prayer for a sick pet for their restoration and healing, and
prayer for when your animal has died (suitable for saying at a memorial service). There is also a traditional Judeo-Christian blessing, and a prayer for when your
pet is lost.

I lay before you my prayers for this special animal.
They are so beautiful, cherished and important to me.
Please bring blessing upon them.
Cover their bodies with healing,
And their hearts with peace.
Help me to care for them,
To have wisdom and love at every moment.
In Jesus name,
Amen.

Prayer for Loss of a Pet
(suitable for saying in a memorial ceremony)
Dear Lord,
The balance between life and death is so fine. I feel so desperately sad to have lost my loving companion. There is such beauty in the life, eyes and soul of an animal.
Please comfort me with the promise of eternal life. Come give me a vision of the freedom that they now enjoy and fill my mind with hope. May my heart rest in treasured memories and be thankful for all the happiness and love that they have given me.
Amen.

Famous Bible Verse on Animals
And God said, "Let the earth bring forth living creatures after their kind, livestock, creeping things, and animals of the earth after their kind." And it was so. And God made the animals of the earth after their kind, and the livestock after their kind, and everything that creeps on the ground after its kind. And God saw that it was good.
