Dear betty, Thank you, dear sister in Christ for this thread. Thank you FReepers all, and all my dear brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus here, each and every one of you, for your prayers and words of encouragement. I wish I could thank each one of you by name right now. These prayers I am reading on this thread are so beautiful and so desperately needed. They are lifting me up in spirit in a way that I cannot explain in words right now. Perhaps I can use some of them in Alex's memorial service.

I want you all to know, the spiritual battle has been joined at a new level now. It grieves my heart to the breaking point again, but Peter has now been charged with First Degree Murder and Armed Criminal Action.

I am in shock. After talking at length with the homicide detective, I am aware of some of the facts and evidence upon which the indictment is based, but I am also acutely aware of the presence of extreme and mitigating and very perplexing circumstances, and so I still do not rule out the very real possibility that Peter was acting in self-defense in some form.

I do not know what to say. Satan has attacked us so viciously. I beg you, please pray for us again.

I beg you, if you can find it in your heart, please pray for Peter. May God have mercy on us.

in humble supplication,

Diamond

Praying for you, Diamond, I know your heart must be breaking for both your sons. May our Lord God protect and heal it and bring about His will in this heartbreaking situation. I pray for mercy for Peter and peace for you. May God grant all you need for these difficult days. In Jesus’ Name I ask all this.

Eternal and Loving Father, Your Own Precious Son gathered little children into His arms, He placed His gentle hands upon them and and He blessed them with Eternal Salvation.

All Mighty Father, we now most humbly pray that You take these children, too, into your Arms. We entrust them to Your never-failing care and love.

Deliver this family, Lord, from the torments of pain and suffering and grief. Strengthen their Faith so that they may see beyond this day of human suffering to the day of their own Eternal Salvation and Joy. For, we have Faith, Lord, that this parting is only for a short while and that they will all be together with You eternally in Paradise.

Through Thy Most Beloved Son, Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, we offer this prayer. Amen.

Your post brought me to tears. You and your family have been in my prayers many times today.

I'm so sorry to hear about Peter on top of everything else. I know he loved his brother. I will step up my prayers for Peter.

May our Lord bless, hold and comfort you all.

Easily I find it in my heart to pray for Peter: My heart goes out to him, and my prayers are lifted to God that His grace and blessing be with your son in these woeful times, and with you and all your dear ones Diamond. I'll continue to pray for you all.

Dear Diamond, I am so very sorry to hear what your family is going through. I really don’t know what to say other that. Many FReepers will be thinking about you and your family.

My prayers are with you and your family. Having a family member diagnosed with BP, I know that that this adds an even deeper element of heartbreak. Only God can understand how such a tragic event could happen. I pray that God will give you his peace and his comfort. I also pray He will give your family His strength for the days ahead.

Oh Diamond....I'm at a loss for words. May our Lord guide you, your family, the attorney...May he open the eyes that are blind to the truth. Again, I'm so VERY sorry...

Hear the heart cry of this devastated family, O Lord, and pour out Your mercy upon them. Wrap them in the mantle of Your love, so that they not only endure, but will rise up, like Job, to Bless Your Holy Name.

Oh Diamond, in all our years on this forum, your post is the most heart breaking of all.

Our hearts are breaking for you and your family. Whatever happened, we know your son Peter didn't plan to ever take the life of his own brother. Hold on to that, and don't accept it if the authorities tell you differently. They loved each other as only brothers can.

Prayers lifted up. Be strong. We care..

May the Lord bless and keep you and your loved ones until this storm passes. May each of you be held in the hollow of His hand, and be brought nearer to the heart of God because of all that you are bearing now. (1 Peter 5:7 “Casting all your care upon Him; for He careth for you.”

Each of you, and especially Peter, remain in my prayers.

‘TIL THE STORM PASSES BY

In the dark of the midnight,
Have I oft hid my face;
While the storm howls above me,
And there’s no hiding place;
‘Mid the crash of the thunder,
Precious Lord, hear my cry;
“Keep me safe ‘til the storm passes by.”

‘Til the storm passes over,
‘Til the thunder sounds no more;
‘Til the clouds roll forever from the sky,
Hold me fast, let me stand,
In the hollow of Thy hand;
Keep me safe ‘til the storm passes by.

Many times Satan whispers,
“There is no need to try;
For there’s no end of sorrow,
There’s no hope by and by”;
But I know Thou art with me,
And tomorrow I’ll rise;
Where the storms never darken the skies.

‘Til the storm passes over,
‘Til the thunder sounds no more;
‘Til the clouds roll forever from the sky,
Hold me fast, let me stand,
In the hollow of Thy hand;
Keep me safe ‘til the storm passes by.

When the long night has ended,
And the storms come no more,
Let me stand in Thy presence.
On that bright, peaceful shore.
In that land where the tempest
Never comes, Lord may I
Dwell with Thee when the storm passes by.

‘Til the storm passes over,
‘Til the thunder sounds no more;
‘Til the clouds roll forever from the sky,
Hold me fast, let me stand,
In the hollow of Thy hand;
Keep me safe ‘til the storm passes by.

Hold me fast, Let me stand,
In the hollow of Thy hand;
Keep me safe ‘til the storm passes by.

‘Til the storm passes by.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

NEAR TO THE HEART OF GOD

There is a place of quiet rest,
Near to the heart of God.
A place where sin cannot molest,
Near to the heart of God.

Refrain
O Jesus, blest Redeemer,
Sent from the heart of God,
Hold us who wait before Thee
Near to the heart of God.

There is a place of comfort sweet,
Near to the heart of God.
A place where we our Savior meet,
Near to the heart of God.

Refrain
O Jesus, blest Redeemer,
Sent from the heart of God,
Hold us who wait before Thee
Near to the heart of God.

There is a place of full release,
Near to the heart of God.
A place where all is joy and peace,
Near to the heart of God.

Refrain
O Jesus, blest Redeemer,
Sent from the heart of God,
Hold us who wait before Thee
Near to the heart of God.
