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
There are no adequate words to express our upset for you and yours.
We are praying for strength, endurance and peace.
May God hold you tightly through your terrible trial.
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.
I join in earnest prayer for Peter and for you and all the loved ones!
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.
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.
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 prayer is for you, Peter and everyone else touched by this tragedy.
May God give you wisdom and comfort during these difficult days.

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.
Logan's Prayer Warriors..an update Here.
Oh my, when it was thought that it couldn’t get worse. My prayers are with Peter and his family as they go through this terrible ordeal. May God grant them strength, courage and love. May God bless Alex’s soul and give him eternal peace at last.
OH dear...prayers for Peter over and over and over again.
Prayers for Peter, Alex, and all your family.
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..
Prayers for your family, and prayers for Peter.
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.

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.

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

A place where we our Savior meet,
Near to the heart of God.

O Jesus, blest Redeemer,
Sent from the heart of God,

There is a place of full release,
Near to the heart of God.

Near to the heart of God.

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