Hi, as this says I am in a very serious life crisis.

In_crisis · Feb 10, 2018

I am a 70 year old man in bad health and just accused of a very serious crime that could put me in prison. With my heart the way it is I probably will not make it to trial. My heart can stop suddenly and the worst trigger is adrenalin which can be triggered by fear. A trial will certainly trigger it. And if I do somehow make it through the trial and go to prison I will be killed there right away. I hate to paint such a grim picture but I have to give the facts.

I am also losing my wife, my home, my family and the best dog I ever had. If I could afford a hotshot attorney I might get it dismissed because it's not all fact but I can't afford it. I could sell the house for the lawyer money but then my wife will be without a home. Even though my wife hates me right and will not even talk to me I still love her with all my heart.

I am a non-denominational Christian . Mostly Baptist raised with some Methodist thrown in. I have always thought I was saved at the age of eleven but I'm not sure. I went to the alter with some friends. I don't know if I was convicted or just following the crowd. Since then my spirituality has been up and down. I suppose mostly down. I do belive that Jesus gave his life for my sins. But I haven't always practiced the Christian life. The kind of life that would make Him proud of me. So the question is am I saved?

I have been praying sincerely with all my heart, on my knees and tears wetting the floor. I have been begging God to help me and told him that I can't take much more. So fellow Christians I am asking for your prayers, encouragement, guidance and advice. And I'm lonely away from my home and wife and very depressed right now. Trouble eating and sleeping. Thanks to all for listening. God bless you.

I am so sorry you are suffering so much. The Lord loves you deeply and he will guide you through this painful time. He is more powerful than your struggles and he will protect you. He loves you deeply and is holding you in his arms.

Not sure why you think you would be killed in prison.
Was going to ask if you are guilty of this serious crime, but then stopped typing that question. Would not want your reply to be used against you in court.
If she loves you any - I would think -the house would already be on the market. If that would give you the money for a better attorney and keep you out of prison, then why not sell it?

If some inmate does not kill me my heart will. I don't know if my wife doesn't love me or it's this situation.

You will be ready when God calls ... don't worry ... your sincerity comes through loud and clear ...

Pray for God's mercy and deliverance ... I will pray with you.

Why does god sometimes answer no when we pray for need? The Bible says "to ask and we shall receive".

Sometimes people don't understand their choices until they make a bad one. Sometimes they only ask forgiveness from God when they have ran out of all the other options. Wrath occurs where wrath is deserved. I will pray for you and hope you make it out of the tough times :crossrc:

That's quite an introduction.
My thoughts are that you need to make your salvation SURE, as God says to. Go ahead, say the salvation prayer now, while you know you mean it and THEN trust God to keep His promise to save you.

As for me, I'm not afraid of death...in fact if someone were to insist upon killing me I'd be scared at first and then excited--- you mean I get to go home to Jesus NOW????

We reap what we sow. Thank God we don't reap ALL that we sow. But make sure you don't reap an eternal life without Jesus. :prayer:

God hears and has heard you. Lifting you up to our God, along with our brothers and sisters on here at this most dire dire and crisis time. may He intervene as only He can, and protect and defend you from ALL that may do you harm, and just as it is written, restore all that the locust has eaten, and raise beauty from what appears to be ashes. Father may it be so, in the precious and mighty name of Jesus the Christ, the only begotten Son of You, the living God, the God of the living, amen.

Welcome to CF Brother. This song was playing as i was reading your post. I'll post it here, since it seems to apply, in so many ways. (((hug)))

Lord, have mercy,
Christ, have mercy,
Lord, have mercy.

Try to remember, you do not have to prove you are innocent; they have to prove that you are not. Stay strong.

(And if your heart is very bad, your doctor may be able to help you not to have to go to trial at all; it is possible. Talk to your doctor.)

Pray only, 'God's will be done' and then try not to worry. Easier said than done, but worth a try.

my heart goes out to you my brother, i know first hand what it is to lose all for Christ as do many others who choose Christ only to find their friends and family no longer relateable or sympathetic.
Unfortunately many of us received a gospel that left out the cost which is "all that are godly shall suffer persecution" 2 Tim 3:12. If not by our close ones then by spiritual attack on our lives and fianances.
The good news is that our God is jealous over us and will not leave us to be destroyed, as long as we make room for Him on the battle field, He will fight for us, and like Joseph and many others we will see the victory on the other side of our trial that He allows, to strengthen and improve us.
Only have faith and do not give up under any circumstances.
