Title: Here we go again
Post by: Samantha on March 24, 2009, 01:49:18 PM
 :-[ Please pray for my brother, he's the only brother I have left.  I just got off the phone with him - he has a small spot on one lung and another small spot on his small intestine.  He will be having tests starting on the 7th to find out if they are cancer. 

To my knowledge, he has never been saved.  With our family history, this scares me.  He has lost a lot of weight in the last 6 months, but I think he and his wife had been trying to eat right and lose weight but not that quick.

Anytime the topic of religion comes up, he always has excuses. 

It's only been 3 yrs since our sister died.  He told me he wasn't going to tell me, but I called him about something else.

I'm not ready or able to deal with this right now.

He is 54.

Thanks,
Samantha :'(

PS  You are the greatest bunch of people I know.  It's a comfort to know that I can bring my prayer requests to y'all, and know you will pray!  Thanks!

OK O am praying.  Just remember He will walk with you through this path. 

Father I pray for Samantha and her family as they explore the path ahead of them.  Father send the right person to her brother to bring him to a saving knowledge of you.  Wrap your arms around Samantha and let her feel your presence.

Typo Fixed

Samantha, I also am holding you, your brother, and all concerned up in prayer ... As Judy says, our Father will walk with you --- and often carry you --- through this experience.

Yeah, Judy ... your keyboard needs a refresher course!   ;)

Samantha, there is great anguish when our loved ones are threatened with health issues.  I will be praying for your brother, the doctors and you and your family.

Praying here in NC. Know that the Lord is with you and your family. I am praying for your brother's health, but most importantly his salvation.

My dear Samantha...  Thank you for bringing this request before us here.  I'm always so encouraged when I see our members praying together and please know that I'll be praying this evening during our devotions together.  I'll also be praying for his health but most of all for his salvation. 

Please keep us posted.

My amen to Pat's prayer.  Our God is faithful, and He is powerful.  He can work in unseen ways in your brother's heart, and He is merciful.

I went by on Friday to see my brother.  He talks like it must be cancer.  Terry talked with him, and he told him he had a personal relationship with the Lord. 

This is a picture of us from Friday night.  He has really lost a lot of weight lately.

His name is Ron

Thanks
Samantha

Hi Samantha,
I'm so sorry to hear about your brother.  You sound like a great sister! 
Father in Heaven,
I lift up Samantha's brother to you, and Samantha and the family.  Please be with them during this difficult time.  Put your peace that surpasses all understanding in their hearts and put your healing touch upon her brother.  We declare healing of his whole body and spirit in the name of Jesus.  Bring him closer to you through this, Lord.  We thank you and give you glory and praise.  In Jesus' name, Amen.
