Prayers for my Dad (vanity)
2-2-2014 | Self

Posted on 02/02/2014 8:16:50 PM PST by floridavoter2

I just wanted to request some prayers for my dad who is dying of cancer. He is expected to pass this week. He's in his 60s and has been fighting this for about a year. It's hard to see him in these last moments, struggling to breathe and communicate.

I also feel so bad for my mom who is working hard to make him comfortable. Fortunately, there isn't much physical pain but I kind of wish he didn't know he's dying. I want this situation to be over, yet I don't want to see him go. Not like this. Anyway, any prayers for him, his soul and my mom would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much.

May the God of all Comfort be with your dad, your mom, your family and give them peace. May the Great Physician in Heaven give wisdom to the medical staff. Amen

Lost my Father-in-law last year similarly. All I can say is be thankful for your Dad and that he will pass with little pain. God Bless you and may the Lord’s Peace descend on him and those around him in his room!

I’m very sorry your family is going through this right now.

I know it’s tough, and my heart goes out to each of you.

Life is wonderful in-between the pain. Just let your dad know how great he has been for you, and you can’t go wrong.

If there have been rough spots, ignore them. Remain positive and you’ll look back feeling good about how you said good-bye.

God willing, you’ll meet again.

“O Lord,
support us all the day long of this troubled life,
until the shadows lengthen and the evening comes and the busy world is hushed,
the fever of life is over and our work is done.
Then, Lord, in your mercy,
grant us a safe lodging,
and a holy rest,
and peace at the last,
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
AMEN”.

You certainly have my prayers. I lost my father in December to cancer. He suffered for over 2 years. It truly is unimaginable what you’re going through.

Jesus loves your father as he does every one of us. Peace and comfort to him and your entire family.

I went through the same thing a few years ago.

There is not a lot you can do except be there with him and for him.

I walked away from my experience knowing my Dad, myself, and my faith in The Lord much better. I am not going to say it was a “good” experience, but it’s made me a better man, a better father, and a better son.

God has blessed you with god parents. Honor them. I will pray for you all. It is hard. But you will make it. Trust your faith.

Very sorry for your dear dad and you and your family. Prayers that his suffering will be over soon. I know your suffering won’t be over. Prayers for you to be comforted and to heal. It is quite a trauma for all those that have loved him.

My mother was supposed to die from cancer twice. Sometimes it doesn’t happen. I will pray for you, though.

My FIL just died from cancer at the end of September 2013. He was only diagnosed early July. It was a blessing and horrible to have it happen so quickly.
