Ruth Stafford Peale 1906-2008

The family of Ruth Stafford Peale
would like to thank everyone for the
outpouring of thoughts and prayers
delivered to Guideposts.

Lord,

As we grieve the passing of your servant Ruth Stafford Peale, we are comforted by the certainty that she is with you and is reunited with her beloved husband Norman in paradise.

We are thankful for the many years you shared her with us. Through you, her strength and belief in the power of prayer was an example to thousands and an inspiration to millions.

Help those she touched and loved live by the principles she espoused and help each of us take strength in the power of prayer and the knowledge that she was a living example of your love for us.

In the name of Jesus we ask this –

Richard V Hopple
President, Chief Executive Officer

Lord, thank you for the life and legacy of Ruth Stafford Peale. She was a woman ahead of her time and a servant with a heavenly mission. Through her faith and leadership we discovered our unlimited spiritual and personal potential to change ourselves...others...the world. She inspired our minds to think and see the opportunities that lie ahead. Help us even in her loss to expect the best through the power of prayer and positive thinking. May our beloved friend and leader find eternal peace in your presence.

Eternal God, we were blessed by the life and presence of Mrs. Ruth Stafford Peale. Our world is a better place because of her service to You. She taught us to have courage in times of trouble and the faith to dream big. Teach us to be faithful servants as she was throughout her life; never losing sight of Your power to reach others in times of need. We are forever indebted to her for her service, vision and commitment to bring hope and inspiration to millions through Guideposts. Thank you for allowing us to be touched by her gifts, love and care. Amen.

Dear Heavenly Father,

I want to pause at this moment of Mrs. Peale’s passing to say thank you.

Thank you for the lives of Dr and Mrs. Peale and how You touched the lives of millions of people through their willingness to serve you. Only eternity will reveal the impact of their service.

From Mrs. Peale’s fervent commitment to prayer and the various ministries this commitment has spawned, to Dr. Peale’s vision and message, born of you and your Word that encouraged so many people to accomplish things they never dreamed possible. So many of us owe them, but You most of all, a debt of gratitude for their unwavering commitment to you.

At this moment I ask that you be with Liz, John and Maggie and their families as they grieve the loss of their mother. While we know she is reunited with the love of her life and is at rest with you, this family still needs your comfort and care, may Your Spirit engulf them with your peace and love and fill the hole that is now in their hearts by her passing.

I pray that you help us, those left to carry on the work they started, to be mindful of them, their commitment to you and inspired by their accomplishments as we continue along the journey.

All these things we ask in your son’s name.

Amen.

Dear Lord,

Thank you for giving me the great opportunity to know about Ruth and her loving husband. I live in Argentina and it has been very rewarding to feel how much I have learned from them and how much they and their organization help me. I just want Ruth and Vince to meet in heaven. I am sure they will continue inspiring and helping all those who followed them and many others. Dear Lord just let them rest and find eternal peace.
