Could you all please offer up some prayers/energies for my friend who just died? He was only in his 40s. He left behind his wife and daughter(s). His name was Mike. He died either from an annurism or a heart attack. They're not sure what caused his death yet because he has not yet had the autopsy done. Anyway, I appreciate any prayers/energies that you can offer for him and his family, especially his wife.
"In the place of Your rest, O Lord, where all Your saints repose, give rest to the soul of Your servant; for You only love mankind." Orthodox memorial service prayer.
The universal Church of Christ unceasingly offers prayers every hour for the departed throughout the world, for the sins of the world are washed away by the most pure Blood of Thy divine crown, and the souls of those who have fallen asleep are translated from death to life and from earth to Heaven by the power of the prayers offered for them at God’s altars. May the intercession of the Church for the dead, O Lord, be a ladder to Heaven. Have mercy on them, O Lord, through the intercession of the most holy Mother of God and all the Saints. Forgive them their sins for the sake of Thy faithful who cry day and night to Thee. For the sake of innocent children, O Lord, have mercy on their parents, and by the tears of their mothers, forgive the sins of their children. For the sake of the prayers of innocent sufferers and the blood of martyrs, spare and have mercy on sinners. Receive, O Lord, our prayers and alms as a memorial of their virtues.
O Lord of unutterable Love, remember Thy servants who have
fallen asleep.
(From the Akathist for the repose of those who have fallen asleep)

Commanders of the heavenly hosts, we who are unworthy beseech you, by your prayers encompass us beneath the wings of your immaterial glory, and faithfully preserve us who fall down and cry to you: “Deliver us from all harm, for you are the commanders of the powers on high!”
Holy Archangel Michael, pray to God for me.
"Why do you increase your bonds? Take hold of your life before your light grows dark and you seek help and do not find it. This life has been given to you for repentance; do not waste it in vain pursuits."~St. Isaac the Syrian
