Brian deserves to feel like giving up as he is having so many difficult issues with his body. When we go deep into our feelings of despair we often come out with renewed strength. Allowing Brian to feel what he is feeling is what I believe he needs right now. Not to say don't give him encourgement but rather to give him permission to feel everything and support him by listening/hearing what he is feeling. When I was involved in pastoral care the hardest thing I had to learn was to listen rather than give all sorts of advice or false hope. Brian is where he is right now and needs time to work through his emotional distress. He needs to be heard and his feelings need to be acknowledged. He must be very frightened and lacking hope/desire to live. What he needs is loving kindness and compassion. I am meditating and praying for Brian. Does he need a healing circle around him. I am lighting a candle for Brian and this warm, bright light will surround him and protect him.

There have been times whe...Josh<BR/><BR/>I agree with Susie. There have been times when I didn't see God working and things didn't make sense. In those times I have learned to worship God for His nature and character. God is good - He can be trusted to do what is just and right. In the dark times I also worship and hold onto the promises in scripture that God will care for my loved one. Ps. 121 tells us that our help comes from the Lord who never sleeps - He watches over us - and your dad - continually. Please be encouraged in God's love and faithfulness. I will continue to pray that God will heal your father, and renew and strengthen you, your father and your family. <BR/><BR/>Deb from the SaultDebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06760426781501573305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8567092011404297667.post-3027903096098456422009-02-21T09:35:00.000-05:002009-02-21T09:35:00.000-05:00Hi there:Susie here from Sault Ste. Marie. I hear...Hi there:<BR/>Susie here from Sault Ste. Marie. I hear and can relate to your weariness and feeling of sometimes wondering like what is really going on? I have been there...In 1998 I went through seven years of watching my dad struggle with cancer. He went throught three major operations with at one time over fifty percent of his liver being removed cause his cancer had spread there. He went through numerous rounds of chemo intertwined with operations for seven years to the point where he was over his head and had to cry out to the Lord. Through it all I talked to the Lord and he renewed my strength, not to say it was not easy and at times very very hard, but he gave me the gift of being able to walk beside my dad through it all. At the end he accepted Jesus Christ as Lord and he really did not like religion at all. God has a plan when what we think is a plan falls apart and through the hard times I know he will uplift you and retore you with an even greater knowledge of knowing he is in full control of things after your walk through this time. The Lord always gave me a passage that I would repeat out loud to myself. The first time I asked God how long was this going to take with my dad and that was at the beginning in 1998 and I got the verse about running the race with endurance and keeping our eyes on Jesus. He will not disappoint when all seems hopeless. He is hope where there is no hope. Read Hebrews 12. Will keep praying for your family. Keep talking to Jesus. He is listening and no matter how slow it seems to be going, this will pass. God's timing for everything is perfect.<BR/>May God strengthen and shine on you all. I know this sounds not right at all, but start singing to the Lord, if you are not already, right at the times when things are worst. I have found that when I worship God and the Lord no power of dread can overtake me, cause my spirit of sadness, weakness or of being overwhelmed seems to lift when I put my mind to worshipping the Lord by myself, privately with a song of thanksgiving and honour for carrying us all in the palm of his hand.<BR/>Susie CelettiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
