Guys I went to my Dads to take him shopping and found he has shot himself and is dead. I am so hurt and I need prayer badly
I'm sorry brother and praying for you as I type. This is a time to lean on and trust in the Lord with all your might. Grieving is expected,

Lord have mercy in abundance and bring some sense of peace in this if even a small amount. Amen

I do not know you, new here to CF but just saw this thread and wanted to let you know that you have one more person praying. I know what it is like, when I was 16 my dad, also struggling with Vietnam hurts, took his life. Many many hugs and prayers.

Hello dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, Let me say thank you so very much for all the prayer and encouragement. I am hanging in there so far. I have my weak moments as I go through things and contenttemplate my future without him.
Still lot's and lot's of questions, "However" I know they will never be answered.
Since I was on CF last I have been going through Dads storage and found a full tote of 45 records, All the oldies. Like Elvis Presley and many many others. I do not know if they are collectors or not?
I also found a collection of antique comic books that I have no idea what to do with as well as a 1941 Newspaper of when the war was going on.
It is strange to go back through things and find stuff about him that I didn't even know.
He and I were very close and I found a picture of us sealed in a ziplock bag in his safe. This made me proud :]
Guys you are all in my prayer everyday and I thank you for all that you do for people here at CF. You truly go above and beyond and I am proud to call you family. God bless each and every one of you.

:heart: Thank you for sharing that Scotty. It seems that God is ministering to you as only He can during this transition. praying that you can sense his presence, moment-by-moment. Father may it be so, in Jesus name, amen (((hug)))

What you said about Elvis brought something to mind for me. It was a video of an, let's say out of the box Elvis fan,and it was hilarious.

If you're up to watching it, let me know.

Hugs and prayers (((hug)))

Scotty, I am so sorry to hear of your father's passing. I wish in times like these, there were magic words to heal your heart - but I do not know any. I do know, however, that God, the creator of you, of the heavens and of the earth, that HE knows the words to heal your heart. That HE knows the way to comfort you. And that HE is standing beside you, all your days, comforting you and holding you upright. Rest in God's word. i am so sorry for your loss.

Continued prayers Scotty. I wasn't able to keep up with CF notifications this week, but you've been in my thoughts. I am glad you've had some comfort and bright spots in these difficult days.

God be with you.
