My Heavenly Father,
Please be there for Robert in what appears to be his final days, and you are with my step-father in his similar situation. We all die, Father, there's nothing unusual about that. But some ways can seem so scary, not only to those who are dying now, but to us as we watch and suffer along with them.
I praise You for You have defeated death and the grave. They have no power over us. Because of the great things You have done, we will live again! All that we've gone through in this life will be worth while! What a perfect, glorious, thing! My heart cries out "Ohhhhhh, Your Mercy. Ohhhhhh, Your Grace!" Father, let your presence shine in this place!
Hosea 13:14 says
I will ransom them from the power of the grave; I will redeem them from death: O death, I will be thy plagues; O grave, I will be thy destruction: repentance shall be hid from mine eyes.
I praise You and thank You, Lord, and ask that you enable Robert, Mary, Kathy, and us all to do the same. Let us see You, Lord, not this life that passes like puff of smoke and an illusion.
Amen
P.S. I don't know where that came from. It just came out that way, and I wrote what came.
Steve
