Title: Do I EVER need prayer!!
Post by: deejcop on November 18, 2006, 01:27:46 PM

Hello, group

If I ever needed prayer, it's now. Next week, I have to make the decision(As permanent guardian)as to whether or not to have my Dad undergo an extremely risky surgical resection of his brain tumor. If he doesn't have the surgery, he gets progressively worse(As is very much the case now)and ultimately dies, and our family's task is to just make him comfortable before the inevitable end--which the doctors arent sure exactly when. If he DOES have the surgery, his chances of pulling through are no better than 65%, and it's not necessarily granted that he'll be significantly better off than before. Basically, it's hit and miss.

I really need y'alls prayers. I don't know what to do, and I'm not hearing the voice of the Lord on this. I so want to do the right thing by my Dad, and I feel the world on my shoulders. Please, petition the Lord on my behalf. I really appreciate it.

Thank you all

Dear DJ,
No doubt you are in a tough situation.  I pray God will reveal to you His will and purpose for your dad.
Keep seeking Him, only this will bring you peace.
Love & prayers,
Marie

Hi DJ,

You're in my prayers.

Amen.

How old is your dad??  That would tip the decision a certain way I think.

I hope you are all recovered!  This is a heavy burden but we will help you carry it.

Love,
gen

Hello DJ

What a hurdle of faith you are facing!

I hope it will be of some comfort to know that God knows exactly which decision you will make even if you do not know at this moment. For God, your choice in this matter will lead to the outcome that He has prepared for you. It is not your decision what the outcome will be. It is already in the Plan of God for both you and your dear Father. It is God who knows the beginning from the end.

Be confident that no matter what the outcome, that it is God who is working all according to His purpose.

I hope this brings some peace to you. Your test of faith is very difficult yet it is not one that God would have you unable to endure or find a way of escape into His Peace for you at this time.  He knows what you are going to do and He is not going to leave or forsake you.

Faithfullness and endurance to you
Arcturus
