Prayers for brother in law
Me

Posted on 04/25/2021 1:21:11 AM PDT by dadgum

FRiends, prayers requested.

My brother in law is 43 years old. He had type 2 diabetes for many years but did not do much to control it. He's been on dialysis for a few years now, but the end appears to be close, as his body is shutting down - he is disoriented, aphasic, and agitated.

He and his four children (20, 18, 16, 14) need healing. He was an an angry and verbally and physically abusive father to the children. It's a complicated story...

PLEASE pray that he and his children would be given the gift of FORGIVENESS and reconciliation before he passes.

Thank you!

Father in Heaven, I pray that dadgum’s brother comes to a saving knowledge of your forgiveness and sacrifice for his sins. Please bless him with physical healing, releif from symptoms and peace that surpasses all understanding.
Father I ask that you use his words to bind and bathe the wounds of his children and grant them Your peace that surpasses understanding. Father, we thank you for his life and ask that he embrace you. In Jesus name I ask these things, Amen.

I have type 2, as well. And over the Passover holiday I went hog wild, neglecting medication and diet discipline. After the holiday I ended up in the ER in urgent need of an insulin boost. Now I’m back on the straight and narrow, stabbing my finger twice a day, etc. Diabetes sucks. Children are difficult, even if you don’t abuse them. What’s his name and his mother’s name? Need that to pray properly.

We don’t know the names of the Freepers in need but I know that God knows their names and their needs. Just pray for them and leave the rest to the Lord. God bless.

Our Father,

To you be the true honor and glory forever, Amen.

Lord, we ask you to hear and consider favorably the many prayers now being offered up for the brother-in-law of the Freeper Dadgum. This man is in the final stages of a fatal disease and is expected to die soon. Of particular concern is the troubled relationship between the man and his four children.

For the father facing his death hour, Lord lift the fog of confusion caused by the disease and its complications. Relieve his physical pain and give him peace and clarity of mind. Give him the strength to recognize the need for reconciliation with his children and the courage to admit his transgressions against them. Give him the wisdom to humble his pride and actively ask to meet with his children and ask for their forgiveness. Calm his anxiety So that his final hours are peaceful. Have mercy on him as he enters into your presence. Remind him of the gift of salvation for his soul freely is still offered through Jesus Christ, Our Lord and Savior.

For the children facing the loss of their father, prompt them to respond with mercy and grace to his desire to see them one final time. Help their young minds understand that death can come very suddenly at this point. And then the difficult thing left undone for later now b becomes impossible. Help them remember to be generous in spirit despite painful memories.”

Peace, my heart, let the time for the parting be sweet.
Let it not be a death but completeness.
Let love melt into memory and pain into songs.
Let the flight through the sky end
in the folding of the wings over the nest.
Let the last touch of your hands be gentle
like the flower of the night.
Stand still, O Beautiful End,
for a moment, and say your last words in silence.
I bow to you and hold up my lamp
to light you on your way.

Gardiner 61 - Tagore

Is there someone who Brother In Law is close to, that he trusts, who is Born Again? They NEED TO TALK...

If Brother In Law repents and calls out to Jesus Yeshua God, if he then reaches out to his children; this could do much to touch their hearts for a new beginning, and forgiveness.

It’s encouraging to see so many FReepers who believe in prayer: a book which will REALLY show you what is possible in prayer: “Rees Howells, Intercessor” by Norman Grubb. Did you know that prayer helped change the course of world war 2?

Lord in Heaven, ransomnote said it all. I add my amen to his prayer and I ask an extra blessing on the children here. Lord, you know my own situation, I know they will need extra care and mercy, and grace. Please God give them all abundantly to these children who deserved better.
In the most Holy name of Jesus I ask, Lord. Amen

Heavenly Father, You are the Great I AM in control of everything. We pray in the Name of Jesus for dadgum’s brother-in-law. That You would send your mighty angels to protect him as well as Bible believing intercessors to minister to him as well as his children. Let him know that he is loved and that You Father God love him most and that all of his past abusive behavior can be washed away by the Blood of Jesus by his repentance and belief in You. We speak to the vile disease of diabetes. Leave his body in the name of Jesus. Be made whole by the Blood of the Lamb. Please give comfort to the family as they reconcile with each other. In Jesus Name, Amen
