New and prayer request

Hi all, I'm new here. Just found this board while surfing google about 3 mins ago. I'm from Texas, and am married. Have a wonderful family and we're going through a tough time emotionally and spiritually: my father died recently. On Dec 26, 2013 he collapsed at home, he was admitted into the ICU in critical condition and on Dec 30 he passed on. It was of "natural causes" but while in the hospital we were told he had MDS (formerly known as pre-lukemia) which had caused his on-going battle with cellulitus (infection of some sort) to become systemic and essentially shut all his organs down.

Well, I just have a prayer request. My mom and dad are 55. Too young to have passed and become a widow. Mom is in turmoil, and none of us kids (me or two brothers) know what to do. Brothers and mine ages are 18, 26 and 32. We're just all at a loss. In addition to all of this, he was a retired federal agent so we've got miles of paperwork to get through before his annuities can be transfered to our mother. I've done about half of the paperwork, but it's just piles and piles. It's overwhelming.

I'm not sure what my prayer request is, specifically...just an overall, we need help, Lord please help us kinda thing. We're so lost, we're just....it's just too much right now. Has anyone else been in this situation? Ultimately, I would like to quit my job and help my mom transition into this new family.

Praying for you in agreement with UnsureMS.  Don't stop talking to God about your loss and other problems, even if you feel like you are in a bad way spiritually, just keep talking to Him. He will listen, just don't stop talking to Him, even if you get mad.  Even when it's hard to understand what is going on and why,  He loves you all and will be your strength.  I am so sorry for your loss.  We are praying for you.


Father God, thank You for who You are and that your promises are true. Please comfort this young lady and her family at this time of loss.  Lord, you know how hard it is to experience the loss of their father and husband.  Please help each of them to feel your comfort and love and help them, guide them, to lean on You right now Lord. Help them to experience your peace that surpasses all understanding as they have to cut  through all the red tape of paper work and processes of this situation.  I pray Lord you will grow this young lady's trust, as well as her whole family's trust, in You somehow through this situation.  And I pray this according to Your will and in Jesus name.  Amen.

Lord be with this lady and her family. They are in turmoil over there dads death and struggling to get back to a normal life. Their mother needs your comfort Lord and strength. She needs to know that while her husband has gone to a better place, she is not alone but has 3 children that need her.

Be their rock Lord...be there light Lord within the darkness. Bring them closer lord and let their family grow stronger because of this not fall apart. Lord, where two or more stand together in prayer it shall be done...so bring them together in prayer. Thank you lord for hearing us today. Amen

I know it's hard but your father is with God now. Therefore, use his death to get closer to your family and God. Remember the god times with your father and stay strong. I pray God gives you and your family peace.
