Hi. I'm not a christian - but my family and I were, a long while ago.

Anyway. I'm requesting prayers for my Dad right now. It seems I've tried everything else. He suffers a great deal from a mental illness and a physical illness. He no longer wants to be here anymore, and hasn't for a long time. It hurts a great deal to see him in pain both emotionally and physically, and I just want him to find peace. To be at peace with himself, with the world. With who he is and why he's here. Aside from his emotional problems, his physical problems affect him in every day life. His back is incredibly sore at the moment and he is surviving on very little sleep. He's a wreck, y'know?

It would be very much appreciated if you guys would pray for him. It seems like my last option - I don't know what else to do.

Thank you.

Dear Father, I pray for this young lady and her father, that You would have mercy on them, that You would show Yourself strong on their behalf and restore wholeness and health to their family, body, soul and spirit.

Father, I pray that You would reveal Yourself to this family in all Your goodness, and holiness and truth. Make Yourself real to them, and grant them peace and comfort from Your word. Draw them near to You and show them Your salvation. In the matchless name of Jesus I pray, Amen.

Peri,

God will hear your prayers too, just talk to Him from your heart.

Father God, please be with Peri and Peri's father as they go through this difficult time. I know the suffering we must face in this life is only a blink in Your time, but sometimes it can feel like forever. Father, please ease their suffering.. just say the word and Your healing will begin in their lives. Touch not only their bodies Lord but also their hearts. Fill them with Your love and peace and happiness.

I pray this in the name of my most beautiful Savior, Jesus Christ our Lord, amen

In Your Son Jesus Christ, I come to You Father. Thank Your for all that You do in loving us. I am in agreement with this prayer and trust You to help them in ways that no one else can. Thank You for Your unfailing loving mercy!

Amen!

Dear Peri, I am praying that your father will recognize and feel Gods Love in his life, for that is all we need. I also pray for you, that he will continue to use you for his good, as he did with this prayer request for your dad.
I can completely relate, my father is as well going through a very tough emotional time, and so often it is seems hopeless, but I know and trust in the Lord, that he has a plan and purpose for everything, so I pray that you will grow in Faith to realize that he will use this all for A Greater Purpose. Keep Praying, and Take Care Always

Not long after I posted this, he got very bad. I haven't seen or spoken to him in a while now, and his actions are hurting all of us. I can't bring myself to see him.
It's so hard to care for people we feel responsible for, when there is so little we can do. It sounds like you care about him a lot.

On another thread, the topic came up on the difference between the soul and the mind. Somewhere deep down, there is a healthy soul that is separate from his distressed mind and pained body... and deep in that being, he loves you and probably wishes he could fix all this.
