Peaceful and Beautiful Way to End Life on Earth

[S] Numbers 20:28 --
After Moses had stripped Aaron of his garments and put them on his son Eleazar, Aaron died there on the mountain top. Then Moses and Eleazar came down from the mountain.

[O] This verse captures the beautiful and peaceful transition of a Godly man who gave all he had for His ministry.  At God's prompting, Aaron ended his life as if he had fulfilled his assignment on earth without any regrets because when that moment came he went up to Mount Hor, passed on his role to Eleazar and then died there.  What a scene.

[A] I want to live and end my life here on earth much like this.  I'm sure family members and friends will miss me (I think) and sadness cannot be avoided, but I would like my life to be ended because God calls me home after completing my task here on earth so I can pass on from this life with peace and clear transition that is proactively initiated.  I do hope such a transitional testimony will bring peace and joyfulness to those at my funeral and to those who will remember me in their hearts.

[P] Dear Father, just like how Jesus had "completed" his assignment on earth and gave up His Spirit on the Cross, I would like to dash towards the end of my life by fully serving You without any energy in me.  Please continue to guide me with Your wisdom so I may stay on that course.  In Jesus' name.  Amen.
