Prayers for your friend.
All of us who reach a certain age, know that the majority of our lives are behind us. Especially upon reaching retirement, we have to consider that we are much closer to the finish line than to the beginning of our lives.
With your friend’s health problems, his mortality is something that he can’t avoid thinking about.
I hope he finds contentment and inner peace somehow. If it happens through faith and abandoning atheism, that would be wonderful.
Is it as simple as the Sinners Prayer,,?
I have a situation similar to this.
