Pray Once Again for my Father to Die

Re: Pray Once Again for my Father to Die

If your father is still alive it is because its Gods will. Why do you wish ill upon your father? Isn't that unchristian? I wasn't aware that people could pray for others to die. This seems akin to a Wiccan putting a curse on someone. You sound like a monster after his money. What is wrong with people on this forum? Then i read a post with people agreeing that its ok for your daughter to get raped? Women are not dispensable tools to be used and thrown away.

Re: Pray Once Again for my Father to Die

Hey Larry,


Sorry to hear the Old Man is at Death's Door, again. I will say a couple of words for him and pray that God forgives all his trespasses and takes him into His Arms. Or if in the case that our prayers save him, again, I will pray for a full recovery and that he sees it right to write you back into his will. Last I saw things looked pretty bleak.

P.S. Here's the prayer:


O God of resurrection, who raised Jesus Christ from the dead, I pray to you on behalf of Brother Larry's Father who is dying this day. May he know the comfort of your presence, the power of your love to give life even in the face of death, and the hope of your salvation. May he be blessed with the presence of family and friends to banish their lonliness and fears, the love of those who care for him to ease their pain, and the hope of always being remembered by those who he was supposed to have loved and left something in his will for. All I humbly ask through the one who died for us that I might live, Jesus Christ, our Savior. Amen

Wow, Tom - what a beautiful prayer. It could have been more direct; something like, Dear God, In Jesus Name, may Larry's dad be saved, may the will be in order to Larry gets all he wants, and then may Larry's dad die and go to heaven. But it'll do.


The last report I heard is not good. Since you are the only one who responded here I don't know if anyone else is praying. He is on advanced life support right now; I sure hope the electricity doesn't go off. Of course they have those damned generators if it does.


One of the best attorneys in NYC tells me there are no hitches with the will; I am in line to receive scads of money and of course the car dealerships, the auto repair shop, and the Dunkin Donuts franchise. Of course I had to pay the lawyer $3000 for that bit of info.


Again, thanks for praying! Just modify it, if you will, to my recommendation above. We're men here, no reason to be all flowery and gay about it.


Bear hugs,
Larry

I learned that my dad had a relapse after God healed him completely thanks to YOU. <sigh>


This time get it right: Pray for his peaceful entry into the afterlife. Since he has not repented of his papist ways, I would ask that you first pray that he finds Jesus in the way he should and THEN die within moments after that.


Oh - and pray there is nothing wrong with the will.


On 2nd thought, pray that the Lord allows him to live long enough for me to have a lawyer check everything over, then that he finds Jesus, then passes on to glory. Please be careful of your prayer order so that God is best glorified. Let me clarify this:


1. Dad lives long enough for me to make sure the will is in order
2. Dad finds the forgiveness of Jesus Christ
3. Dad enters his home in Glory


Everyone got that? Thanks!
