Prayer request for Michael Savage's friend

KSFO

[giotto]

Michael Savage just mentioned that a good friend and coworker suffered a brain aneurism a few hours ago and was life-flighted to hospital, where he is now in surgery. He asks how God can allow people like the Beltway sniper and Saddam to continue to flourish, while He strikes down innocents like this young man. Michael asked his audience to pray for his friend. I pray that not only will he recover, but that Michael's faith--and my own--may be sustained.

Requesting your prayers. Thank you.

We just found that my Dad has a terminal mental illness and will need to be put in a nursing home and probably has 6 to 12 months to go. We as Christians ask the same questions - why my Dad, a kind, dear man who never hurt anyone in his life, and not someone like Sadaam or the sniper. Who knows? I think The Lord cries with us and I know that He is always with us to comfort us, as He promised, maybe so we can comfort others. I don't know the answer to that question yet. But I believe that He has given me a particular peace about it. I ask Him why in prayer and I hope someday He will answer me and I hope he answers you also. God bless you and your friend.

Perhaps if Michael would stop waiting for nine more men to pray and instead would go directly to the Messiah himself, he would find simple answers to what I'm sure he thinks is a complex question.

God Almighty is the Creator of the universe.

The Creator doesn't sit around, as though he was one of the "Gods" at Mount Olympus, playing with people, like they were no more then pawns.

I'm so sorry about your father. I hope that he will prove the doctors wrong. At any rate, I guess it is not for us to know why. We simply have to accept it in faith.

Prayers for both....

I don't think Michael is sitting around waiting for others to pray, but he is on the air right now. The way he said it, it sounded like he was acknowledging his own powerlessness and was simply appealing to his audience to help him to pray.

It seems that sometimes the Lord wants the special ones to come to him sooner.

God bless Michael Savage's dear friend. May the Good Lord touch and heal. In Jesus' Name. Amen.

God bless your father and keep him safe and free of fear.

I am so sorry about your dad. I know the pain of losing your Father, and I also know that God can help you get through anything. Please spend as much time with him as you can in the rest home, you will treasure those memories.

[Salvation]

Prayers for you and your family as well as your dad. I understand your pain since I have walked your walk. God Bless.

[Salvation]

And prayers for the friend of Michael Savage also. It is so hard to lose a close friend.

Prayers for Michael's friend. I can't answer why these things are allowed to happen, bad things do happen to good people though.

Fourteen years ago, my father had an aneurysm just off the main artery in his brain. He's still with us and completely whole because of the grace of God and a whole lot of prayer.

I pray for the same outcome for his friend.

Prayer sent.

He asks how God can allow people like the Beltway sniper and Saddam to continue to flourish, while He strikes down innocents like this young man.

I asked the same thing, 25 years ago. After not hearing any genuinely rational response -- neither from peers, nor parents, nor written or church authorities, nor from 2500 years of philosophic debate, called "theodicy," dealing with this quandary -- I walked out of the Christian church.

Except for my parents' memorial services, I haven't been back since, even for a visit -- and I still haven't heard a good reason to do so.

He asks how God can allow people like the Beltway sniper and Saddam to continue to flourish, while He strikes down innocents like this young man.

I don't think much of the maturity of a man who at his age, feels like he has to ask such questions.

I'm listening to a delayed program of the Savage Nation, but thanks for the heads up,.. my prayers going out for Michael and his friend.

I am so sorry that you had this experience. God is a sovereign God whose thoughts are higher than ours. We will never be able to comprehend why these things happen in our lifetime, but they are not God's fault. He is loving and just. All of us have things that happen in our lives. Some of us run to God for the comfort and peace that He can give. I don't know why others blame Him. He has offered us a Way, when we really deserve nothing.
