• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

It's good this area doesn't get much attention (3)

Eternal God,
in whom mercy is endless
and the treasury of compassion inexhaustible,
Look kindly upon us and increase Your mercy in us,
That in difficult moments we might not despair nor become despondent,
But with great confidence submit ourselves to Your holy will,
Which is Love and Mercy itself. Amen
~The Divine Mercy Prayer

May God give peace and comfort. Steve and his family will be in my prayers.

Lord, I pray that you would be with them and comfort them. I pray that they would feel your peace and presence surrounding them. In Jesus name amen

God be with this family.

I pray for Steve.

Thank you all so much ~ God bless you :pray:

When my dad was dying in June 2004, I could not visit him in time to be there with him as he was fading quickly.

In my anguish, I prayed to God that he would comfort my dad and me too. Within minutes, I was filled with peace, and was inspired to sing one of my dad's favorite hymns that he was singing until only two days before he died. Since God's time is not what we experience on earth, but is an eternal present, I prayed that God would transport my song into my dad's presence.

This I believe happened as the nurse wrote down his last words just minutes later: Jesus and I are now one for all eternity.

Jesus Jesus come to me
All my longing is for Thee
I belong to Thee
Jesus Jesus come to me.

May Jesus come quickly and take Steve to heaven where there will be no more pain, no crying, but joy everlasting. And may Christ God comfort all of us below who await His Glorious Second Coming.

Come Lord Jesus

Our dear CF Brother Steve, is now with the Lord.
Thank you all for your prayers!
*Posted on his Profile Page 25th August 2013 09:11PM
I know I should be happy to tell you that Steve went to be with God early this morning, it hurts.
He fought to stay with us but he was so sick and so very tired.
He was laboring through the death process and I could not bear it so I urged him to go ahead and I would catch up with him.
I think that gave him peace for it was long before he left.
Although he was in terrible pain these past days, I would ask him if he wanted to talk to Jesus and he would pray for everyone but himself.
He mentioned you all in his prayers. You were so dear to him.
When we found out that he was entering hospice and leaving me soon, I asked him if when he got to heaven if he would find a nice bench in heaven and save a seat for me.
During one of his lucid moments yesterday, he remembered his promise and reminded me of it. I have such peace in that.
The boys and myself are bearing up well for we know that he is in the arms of the angels.
We thank you for your prayers cards and gifts but, we lovingly thank you for your relationship with our loved one. We love you.
I will be posting arrangements when they are made.
Love to you al!!l Debbie
You will always have a special place in my heart, Steve :hug:

*ETA: Here is a listing of Steve's threads from his Cancer Diagnosis to the present.

His service will be held Friday (30th); please keep his loved ones in your prayers :pray:
