My Dad

[justanobserver]

Requesting prayer for my dad. I just found out late last night that he is in ICU in a hospital and isnt expected to live (combination of age, several very really severe health issues, etc) - could go in the next 5 minutes or hang on for the next 5 days.

What I am requesting prayer for is this: I have no idea of his spiritual condition - most my life all i knew about his view on it was he was against God or wanted nothing to do with Him.

I heard the the family rumour mill a year or so ago that he had been going to church with his wife (step mother) the past several years. That itself is a big change but dont know if he converted or anything.

So, been asking God today that somehow provide a way to allow him to be awake and lucid long enough to make sure things are right between he and God before he goes.

thank you.

Precious Lord...
Creator of Heaven and Earth ! ~

I lift justanobserver's Dad to You this day.
If you have not already done so, Lord....
May it be Your will, that You convict him of his need for a Savior.
Show him his sin, Lord.

Thank you, Lord....
for hearing Your Children, when we call out to You.

In the Name of Jesus,
the One who died for our sin.
Amen.

I'm very sorry you have lost your father. I, too, lost mine in June of last year. I am praying for you.

 

[Breezy3]

My heart goes out to you at the loss of your Dad. Losing a parent is very hard. My father died when I was five years old. I want you to know that I care about you and your pain. I will be praying for you on a regular basis cuz I believe in the power of prayer. Know that you are surrounded by LOVE on all sides.

You are in our thoughts and prayers, during this your time of loss, and we thank God for his life and for yours!

I was told the other day when my mother visited dad in the hospital to say goodby (they been divorced for around 25 yrs but remained best friends) - she said she asked him if he was ready to go spiritually to meet God and he said he was.

Mom is catholic and dad was or always had been basically a non beleiver. my dad's wife atends a church but I dont how deep into it she is or he was.

I want to beleive that he made his peace with God and was ready to go.

Goodby dad. will see you again some day.

to all who stopped and read this thread, I thank you for your thoughts, prayers and kind words.

Sorry to hear about your Dad's death. BIG HUGGS for you! Thats reassuring to know he said he was ready to go with GOD! There are more death bed conversions than we could imagine. Assume he did make his peace with God and know you will see him again!! Praying for you and your family

Hey there Norm,
Bobby told me of the passing of your dad and I just had to track you down here on CF to expess my heart felt regret for your deep loss.
I can not begain to say I know how you feel cause I don't. But I can tell you that I am praying that your heart does not hurt to deeply for to long and that you are able to have peace with what your mother shared with you about your dad being ready to meet God face to face. I dread the day I have to go through this myself. I also pray you keep reaching out in this time of need to those you have meet at Celebrate and church.

Keep searching Norm, God is here waiting for you to reach out your hand in to His and hold you as His son.

In Faith I pray in Jesus name
Annette

See you at church

to all who prayed and gave kind thoughts, I thank you.

now that he is gone, this prayer request is no longer needed. am requesting this thread be closed (literally as well as symbolically for me).

I am closing this thread at justanobserver's request.
