Prayer request

[buck jr]

My name is James Parsons, My parents became Christians in the early 60's I did so in the early 70's. I was married to Patricia and she answered the call of the Gospel in the mid 80's. We all fell away, Patricia and myself divorced, remarried to others and both divorced again. My father (James also, nic. name Buck, thus the buck jr, user name) reconciled first, I reconciled later. My request is for Patricia and my mother,Patsy. That 1st, both would return to the faith, 2nd, that Patricia and I could reconcile to each other. I have long since accepted the fact that I may go the rest of my life without a wife, but the thought of both of them being lost leaves me in tears daily, please pray that this not be the case....Thank you,....James,

Hello James,

After just finishing some comments in our debate, here I am, and I am moved by your situation. I have prayed for you and your loved ones with tears even though I cannot (thankfully) relate to your situation in my personal life. Nevertheless, I feel pain from your request as my computer screen still appears to be blurry. My hope and prayer is that you receive a favorable answer from God, but if not, you must be willing to accept it.

In light of your prayer request, my Dad had cancer and died in 1988. I prayed that God would heal my Dad, to take away his cancer. I prayed and prayed. After a while I knew God wasn’t going to heal him, but I still prayed for his healing anyway. Closer to his end when I knew for sure that God wasn’t going to heal him, I prayed, but I prayed for God to take him quickly so he wouldn’t suffer for a long time. He did. He had a heart attack and died.

I accepted it all along the painful way, knowing it was God who is in control of life and death. I was for not a moment angry, only grieving my loss, knowing that Dad is with the Lord.

With my Dad’s situation there was nothing that I could do but pray. Your situation isn’t like that; you have to participate in your own prayer request. So, I pray that you’ll find the best approach to Patricia’s heart once again.

Sincerely,
Roger

Thank you for your encouragement and prayers Roger, I have accepted the fact that the outcome may not be what I want, but after seeing what a mess I made of my life without God, I completely accept His control and only pray that I not miss any opportunity to lead by example, Patricia and mom back into the fold. If it God's will that Patricia and I reconcile to each other as well, I would consider myself blessed beyond what I already consider to be immeasurable. I am sorry to hear of your father's death, but knowing he was faithful unto death, must be a great source of comfort to you. Once more,thank you...James (buckp.jr@gmail.com) If you would like to stay in touch. In Christian love,

James,
You are in my prayers... it is sad to hear your story... it is, unfortunately, a very familiar story, one that is told more often than not... but not many have the same attitude about it... I hope that everything will work out for you... create opportunities to reconcile with your wife... I would really love to hear the happy ending to this story...
