Prayer for the Family of Jerry Splitt, Our EMS Family, and All Who Continue His Legacy
Heavenly Father,
Today we come before You with hearts filled with sorrow as we mourn the passing of Jerry Splitt, a dedicated Program Director, Flight Nurse, mentor, colleague, and friend. We thank You for the life he lived and the countless people he served through his compassion, leadership, and unwavering commitment to helping others.
Jerry answered the call to care for those who were hurting, frightened, and in need. Like the Good Samaritan in Scripture, he did not pass by when others were suffering. He stopped, he cared, he comforted, and he gave of himself so that others might have hope and healing. Through long hours, difficult missions, and moments of crisis, he reflected the love of Christ through acts of mercy and service.
Lord, we lift up Jerry’s family before You. Surround them with Your peace, comfort, and strength in the difficult days ahead. Hold them close when grief feels overwhelming and remind them that they do not walk this journey alone.
We also pray for our fellow flight crews, nurses, paramedics, EMTs, pilots, dispatchers, physicians, firefighters, law enforcement officers, and healthcare professionals who mourn the loss of a trusted colleague and friend. Grant them comfort as they remember the many lives Jerry touched and the example he set through his servant-hearted leadership.
May we all be inspired to continue his legacy by caring for others with the same compassion, dedication, and kindness that he demonstrated throughout his life.
Scripture
“A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho when he was attacked by robbers… But a Samaritan, as he traveled, came where the man was; and when he saw him, he took pity on him.” — Luke 10:30,33
“The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” — Psalm 34:18
“Well done, good and faithful servant… Enter into the joy of your master.” — Matthew 25:23
Gracious God, thank You for Jerry’s life of service and sacrifice. As we grieve, help us to remember that death is not the end for those who belong to You. Through Christ’s resurrection, we hold fast to the promise of eternal life and the hope of reunion in Your heavenly kingdom.
Until that day, may Your peace guard our hearts, Your love sustain us, and Your grace carry us forward.
In the name of Jesus Christ, our risen Lord and Savior, we pray.
Amen —
