Prayer for a colleague who committed suicide

A few days ago I heard that a colleague has committed suicide. He worked across the hall from me. He was a quiet unassuming young(ish) man. He had an estranged wife and two children. Although I did not really know him very well (none of us did) It still came as a shock when I was given the news of his death.

Suicide is, I know, a sin. However it would be callous not to feel sympathy for the man and, even more so, for the family he leaves behind. On the day that I heard of his death I went to a local church in my lunchbreak and lit a candle for him and said a short prayer. This is my prayer for him.

Dear Father,
Please receive this man into heaven,
Please forgive him for the harm that he has done to others and to himself,
Let him now find the solace with You that, it seems, eluded him in life,
Also Lord I ask you to bring comfort to his family and those that loved him,
I ask this in the name of Your Son, Jesus Christ
Thank you Lord.

Amen.

God bless you - N
