I just got a call from my sister. My nephew, Travis, shot himself and is on life-support. He's not expected to live. Details are sketchy at this point.
I'm calling on all FR prayer warriors to send their prayers Heavenward.
Thank you, kassie...prayers are powerful!
I stand with you in this prayer. Thank you.
The Lord is holding him now. Bless you!
Thank you ZinGirl. I knew I could count on the Lord's Army to send up prayers.
Thank you for the prayer and the bump, Constantine.
Forgive, Lord, forgive! It was night when we did what we did! But then comes the morning...yesterday's sorrows behind....wake it's the day of your longing....night is gone, mercy comes, it's morning! (From a song I used to cantor at church)
I pray that this young man will recover, but if not, that the Lord will show abundant mercy.
Thank you for the reminder, Alpha.

Thank you for your beautiful prayer, patricia. FR is a special place... HUGGG
Prayers for Travis, you and your family. I'm so sorry.
Yes, it is a tragedy. As I said to one of my nephews tonight, sometimes there's no rational explanation for an irrational action. The Lord will sustain.
I am so sorry,
Prayers will be said for this situation.
Keep us posted.
Prayers for Travis and his family.
And for you jellybean.

I just signed onto FR at this late date but please know that I am asking the Lord God to comfort and sustain your family on every side. There are difficult days ahead but God does not require they walk them alone. He will never leave them nor forsake them, nor you either. Please know you are loved and our prayers are with you.
My deepest condolences.
Lean Hard
Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and He shall sustain thee. Psalm 55:22
Child of my love, lean hard,
And let Me feel the pressure of thy care;
I know thy burden, child, I shaped it;
Poised it in mine own hand; made no proportion
In its weight to thine unaided strength.
For even as I laid it on, I said,
"I shall be near, and while she leans on Me,
This burden shall be Mine, not hers;
So shall I keep My child within the circling arms
Of My own love." Here lay it down, nor fear
To impose it on a shoulder which upholds
The government of worlds.
Yet closer come;
Thou art not near enough.
I would embrace thy care;
So I might feel my child reposing on My breast.
Thou lovest me? I knew it. Doubt not then;
But loving me, lean hard.
Prayers for your nephew and your family.
So sorry for you and your family. Will pray today for all and Travis especially.
Prayers sent
Wow. What a tragedy for your family. Why, why, why?????? The age old question. (Sigh) Prayers for all of you and especially for the soul of your nephew.
