Eternal God, into Your hands we commend our longtime colleague, Congressman Bill Posey, in deepest gratitude that You allowed us to share and serve together in the journey of life, in service to this country, and in the work of finding common ground for the common good.
Thank You for Bill's principled and pragmatic approach to the issues he devotedly pursued on behalf of his constituents. Even more, we thank You for his example of what it means to remain strongly and passionately committed to the people You called him to serve.
Even while his death brings forth many tributes and remembrances of his public service, we pay special mind to those who loved him privately and personally. Grant that Katie, the love of his life; his daughters, Cathi and Pamela; and their families may always know of Your presence in his absence. Grant them an awareness of Your abiding love through the outpouring of condolences and the indwelling grace of their many memories.
Truly, O God, Representative Bill Posey has fought the good fight. He has finished the race, and he has kept the faith.
Grant him now the crown of righteousness from his Lord, the righteous judge, who now praises him for his good and faithful service.
In Your redeeming name, we pray. Amen.
I Timothy 4:7–8
God is not proud...He will have us even though we have shown that we prefer everything else to Him.
—C.S. Lewis
