This a huge thread so i appoligize i have not read it all the way through.
I have a prayer request concerning my family. We do not attend a church or have any affiliation with one. I was raised in a Weselyn church and had a very good father who seeked to live as an example of his faith. Because of him i to believe on our Lord Jesus christ. I am now 61. I lost Him when I was 19.
My DH who was diagnosed with color/rectal cancer 5 years ago and who has been valantly fighting it for 5 years has decided to go into hospice now as treatments were not working anymore. I have watched him loose 60 lbs over the last couple months and i do not know how much time we will have toghether. Tomorrow we have the lawyer come to the house and notorize our wills.
My DH has turned down any religous counceling up to this point although i encourage it, i do not want him to go untill the Lord works on him as i wish us to be together again in the next life.
I have started to feal like the lord is testing me as other things also are going wrong.
In November, a neighbor started legal proceedings against me to remove quite a few of my trees that could fall on his house. So far i have had to hire a lawyer, hire 2 arborists to evaluate the trees and take a loan that will take me years to pay off for the removal of trees.
Also my husband and I have a 17 year old daughter ( yes, the Lord blessed me with my first and only child at the age of 44) who i am quite worried about. She failed 11 grade last year and begged me to enrole her in virtual school which i did for this school year. She is now failing that with no course compleated. She also 2 weeks ago announced to us that she wanted to cut her hair ( She had beUtiful blond hair that fell half way to her waist) because "the static electricity was driving her mad". Her dad said it was ok with him and i sugested we go some evening to a walk in hair salon and get it cut. She instead went in the bathroom and used Dads beard trimmer and shaved her head. I am heartbroken for her as now she wears a beenie hat and seldom leaves the house. I cant imagine how difficult watching her dad wither away must affect her. I cant even bear to bring up the schooling anymore as she gets so emotional and full of self loathing.
Calls herself unkind names. She also velehimently refuses counceling of any sort.
Then my Brother calls me out of the blue 2 weeks ago. He is about 6 years older than i. He has always done everything right in life as far as putting himself thu college, taking care of his family and heath, never smoked or drank, worked hard to support himself an family, now he tells me the doctor discovered he has stage 4 liver diesese of which is to far advanced to cure and no hope for recovery. He did not tell me how long he has had it but i did notice he has been loosing weight in the last year and is skin and bones the last christmas family get together.
Also my oldest sister needed a ride to her doctor appointment in December and i found out she has congestive heart failure. She is about 12 years older than I. My other Sister and my mother passed awy in 2017.
The hospice lady tells me at some point i will need to stop working and stay home with my Husband and i want to do that, but i am worried about the insurance that pays for all our health needs will be lost if i dont work, also what will pay the bills that endlessly arrive in the mailbox without fail or reguard for your circumstances.
I can not even fatham what i will do without my Husband or what my life will be like without Him without my chest and throat tightening up and the tears come.
I have been listening to gospel sermons and talk radio. I have watched alot of John Macarthur and Billy Graham and i question my own faith now. The Bible says we, know not how to pray. I believe i do not. I dont know any more what to ask for except that His will be done and ask that He help me through it.
dont get me wrong, i can see the blessings in all of this also. We have a house and roof over our heads, my daughter and i are healthy, i have a job that offers good insurance, my credit was good enough to pull the needed loan, we have food and heat and running water at all times, hospice help is quite a blessing, the car is running good, i know the Lord provides all of this and in fact has given me every single thing i have or am. I give Him all the praise!
I ask that you folks who know how to pray include my family in your prayers as at times i am a hopeless wreck.
I have a bit of an odd request... I am hoping somebody could possibly pray for me? I normally wouldn’t even ask this but I came across this: View attachment 2073514
recently and the let them pray for you bit was key to me. I’ve been trying to do things alone for way too long and it’s not really working out so I thought I’d ask.
I should note I’ve been doing pretty well lately, mostly pretty happy or whatever, so it’s not really that, but I still deal with some thoughts and ideas that just won’t go away still and are not very pleasant.
And in addition to that, I’m also just not very productive and have been feeling pretty sluggish, tired, unmotivated, etc. for a while and not getting much done which of course also doesn’t help the thoughts either.
Anyway, I’m not expecting a solution or anything but I’m hoping for maybe some prayers or something. Cause like I said I’ve been trying both by myself and praying and it hasn’t really been working so I thought maybe now might be a good time to involve some other people.
TIA.
Thank you for this.Romans 10:17
“17 So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
Matthew 18:18-20 NIV
“18 Truly I tell you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.
19 Again, truly I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything they ask for, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven.
20 For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.”
Romans 4:20-21
“20 He did not waver at the promise of God through unbelief, but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God, 21 and being fully convinced that what He had promised He was also able to perform.
Jesus speaking of the devil:
John 8:44
“44...When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it.”
Father God we praise you and thank you for your faithfulness in keeping your promises. While we were unrepentant sinners you still loved us enough to send your Son to die for us. Who is like you? There is no one.
Here now we hold up our friend to you. We know you take the weapons Satan has intended to use against us and fashion them into good. Now Lord bind those evil spirits that are coming against our friend. We ask this in Jesus name. Amen.
Father God give KDOGG331 peace in Jesus name amen
talk to God the same way that you talk to family and friends
be honest with what is going on in your life
and believe His word is true
and trust in Jesus as Lord and Savior
