Prayer for My Family

You got it. Also, read The Shack. It may help. You'll know why I recommend that once you get toward the middle and end of the book.

Hi Bobbie,
Just want to let you know I am lifting you and your family up to our Lord for comfort and understanding of all that is happening. Most of us can relate to death and the loss of loved ones. If we have not we will sooner or later. It is in these times that we draw close to God and know that there is hope even in death. I will keep your brother in prayer and please let us know how he is doing. God bless, Love, B.

Father God, I pray now for a special peace upon Bobbie. I pray that you will be her sustainer and her helpmate in this time of troubles. I pray for her brother, that your healing hand would be upon his. You are the Great Physician and have the power to heal. More than anything, I pray that you give Bobbie a supernatural strength and peace. Draw her close to you, and wrap your loving arms around her.
In Your Holy and Precious Name I pray,
Amen

Yes...thank you for reaching out for prayer. May God--who IS able--give you the strength you seek and an even more than you can ask for or imagine. May He bless your brother with healing and be NEAR to you, your brother, and your family. His Nearness is precious...and comforting...and changing. God bless you...

Bobbie - I just said a prayer for you. I am so sorry you have been through so much. I have always been taught that God strengthens us through life's challenges. May God strengthen you and use you to help others. And I pray that you can feel God's loving arms wrap around you and help you through.

I will continue to pray for you and your family.

I would like to suggest a wonderful book called The Grief Recovery Handbook by John James. I saved me after I came home and found my husband dead from a heart attack. It's not a very thick book and is the best one I have ever found about grief. It not only educates you, it literally tells you step by step how to recover from grief. You can also contact The Grief Recovery Institute in California. They are wonderful! T. O'Connor ###-###-####

Dear Bobbie,

I pray that God will bless your family and give you strength and comfort. God is there for you. ~C.~

Very well said, Ladies. What a wonderful group to have to turn to in our times of need, whether it be for advice, prayer, or strength. I, too, will pray for your family, for you, and your brother. May you all know and walk with the Lord and draw your strength from Him. God bless.

I am so sorry for your losses. As you can see here you have many people praying for you and your family. Try to think of the good times you have had with those you have lost and concentrate on those still with you. My prayers are with you!

God Bless!

Consider it done. I will pray for your family. I will also pray for the Holy Spirit to sustain you as you face the possible loss of your brother.

You have our prayers. Know you are not alone, though it must feel that way, with the burden heavy and no relief. We pray for you and your brother.

Hi Bobbie,

I will keep you and your family in my prayers. I lost my aunt in June of 07 of a heart attack, which we feel may have been brought on by the news given to her that my mother had gone into cardiac arrest and wasn't recovering. After being on life support for 3 months (we took her off mid-August) my mother passed away in September 07. My siblings and I take comfort in knowing that our mother is resting in the arms of our creator. Almost daily my sister and I laugh and share our memories of mother and things she said and did and how she would react to things going on in our lives now. We have many wonderful memories of her. It's especially hard during holiday season. My mother had given me a lot of dishes/cookware (She loved to cook). This Thanksgiving every food item that I prepared was cooked in a dish given to me by her. Pray for strength and cherish your memories. God will give you a peace that surpasses all understanding. He did for me when my mother passed.

Hi Bobbie, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family as you are going through this difficult time.

Bobbie,
I will pray for God's strength, comfort and peace for you and your family. He loves you and you are not alone. Your help comes from Him. I will also pray for wisdom for the doctors and comfort and peace for your brother, also. I pray for God to help you sleep and get the rest you need. Looking to God in prayer is always the right thing in any situation.
God bless,
M.

Bobbie,
I am so sorry you are going through such a big loss in your family. May you find some comfort in knowing that those who have passed are in God's loving arms. I pray that your brother gets well and that you find peace in your days.

Hi Bobbie, I am very sorry for what you and your family are going through right now. I did say a prayer this morning for all of you in your time of need. I hope and pray that everything works out for the best. If there's anything else that I can do, Please don't hesitate to let me know. I will continue to have you and your family in my prayers everyday.

keep your eye on god

Bobbie,

I said a prayer for you and your family this morning. I'm so sorry for your losses. It's never an easy time to lose people, but when they are one after the other, if feels especially overwhelming.

May you and your family have some peace and comfort as you grieve. Also, I prayed for a miracle for your brother. That he may be restored to good health.

Grace and Peace,

L.

Bobbie, I've said a prayer and I've asked not only for healing for your brother, but for strength and comfort for the rest of you. My family has lost so many people over the years and I know how awful it feels. Now is exactly the right time to lean on God and give your grief over to Him. He loves you and your family and He'll be there for you. I know it's hard to understand why things like this happen, but put your faith in God and you'll make it through this. My heart goes out to you - I'll keep praying. God bless. S.

Bobbie,

I have said a prayer for you & your brother and will continue to pray for your family!

My best friend has suffered multiple tragedies to her family within a short period of time also. Your story reminded me of hers. Hers started with the loss of her 26 year old brother. He was shot and killed by her brother-in-law on Christmas night of 2004. This happened right in front of her sister and 1 year old niece. Before her brother-in-law could go to trial, he committed suicide. Then on Easter of 2006, her parents home burnt down leaving her mother, father, sister & niece homeless. They lost everything they owned and had to start all over. Then in July of 2006, her father suffered a heart atack and passed away. And October of this year her aunt (mother's sister) passed suddenly at the age of 45. It has been very difficult for her whole family, but they keep pushing on! With God's help no doubt! It is hard to understand at times why these things happen, but I believe in that saying - 'If He brings you to it, He will bring you through it!' - Just pray, pray, pray! God DOES hear your prayers and He does ANSWER too! I have experienced that first hand recently in my own family. I have been going through some difficult times with my teen-age son and God has answered many prayers concerning him!!! I will add also that the moms on Mamasource are really great! What a great resource we have in Mamasource! What a great way to get moms praying :) Have Faith!!!

May God bless you & keep you...

Bobbie,

I am so sorry to hear about your losses. It must be so hard to so many family members and especially in such a short period of time. My prayers will be with you and your family.

i just prayed for you and your family :)

I will most definitly put you on my prayer list. I have lost 4 people in the span of 3 weeks this year. I understand the pain that you are going through. I will ask God to grant you the strength to get through this tough time. It still hurts at time but with God's love and comfort I am able to get through it. May God provide you peace this holiday season.

Your in my prayers!

Bobbie, I do not have any words of wisdom but my prayers and thoughts are with you and your family. One day at a time is our only option, I hope your days (and nights) begin to get easier...just remember Angels are always watching over you and your family. Take care and try to stay positive.

Hi Bobbie,

I am so sorry to hear about your losses. I can't imagine the pain that you have had to endure by losing three loved ones in the last two years. I will pray for you to be comforted and have peace in this time. I pray that God will protect you and guide you and your family. I also pray for your brother's health. I pray for wise and caring doctors. I pray for your bother to be comforted and not be in pain. I pray for your entire family that they will know that God loves them and is with them always, for He is just and good

In peace,

A.

"For I know the plans I have for you says the Lord. They are plans for good and not disaster, to give you a future and a hope. In those days when you pray, I will listen. If you look for me, I will be found by you." Jeremiah 29: 11-14

This is so hard. I pray for peace for you and strength for you to face whatever the future holds. God will see you thru.

Faith is knowing that while the journey may be soo very hatd, you will not walk it alone and He will see you safely to rhe other side.

Dear Bobbie,

Bobbie -

I am so sorry for your losses and the pain that your family is going through. It is a amazing to me how a group such as this, most of us who have never met, can pull together and offer support to each other - the human spirit is amazing!

There is a life coach that I know that has had similar experiences in her life and now works to help others through their own experiences. Her name is Jandy Chambers and here is her info:

It is always helpful to talk with someone that has similar experiences and can empathize, but is not emotionally tied like another family member might be. I hope this helps in addition to the prayers that I know will help bring you comfort.

You are in my prayers today. (and your brother) I lost my dad, the CEO of my company who was like a mentor/grandma to me, my Aunt, my nephew and 2 grandparents within 6 months, about 11 years ago.
The only thing that got me through was realizing that God's plans I wouldn't always understand and getting a personal Father/daughter relationship with Him.

I actually prayed a prayer asking God not to take anymore famiy members for a while, I needed them here, and He has granted my request.

L.

I will pray for you and your family Bobbie!

Isaiah 41:10 is a good verse to remind you that God will strengthen you and your family!

Hello Bobbie,
I said a prayer for you this morning. I ask God to give you comfort and peace to get through all your losses. I too have lost a sibling and it was a hard loss for me. It's been 4 years now and I think about her every day. May God bless you and give you peace.

Bobbie, just want you to know, that I am praying for you and your family. I lost my greatgrandmother, two grandfathers, a cousin and uncle within 5 years. My grandmother's been gone for 16 years and not a day goes by that I don't think of her. It has been a hard few years especially around the Holidays. Hope these prayers give you some comfort. Take Care, T.

I'm so sorry for everything you are going through. I will pray for you and your family, for strength, courage, and faith. You are not alone in this. Not only do you have God, but also us Mamas on your side.

I went through a similar thing a few years ago. I lost my grandmother, sister, daughter, and father within 5 years of each other. I thought I could never make it - that it was all too much for me to cope with, but here I am. I am not a strong person, so I know I had help to pull me through it all, and you do too.

You are in my thoughts, good luck.

S.

Hello Bobbie,

I'm so sorry to hear about your losses.

I will definitely pray for you and your family.

I know sometimes its hard when you're hurting, but know that it's all in God's plan. Find your comfort and strength in Him.

Take care and God bless,

M.

Bobbie,
I'm sending you and your family my prayers and a loving light to help you find strength and peace. Be filled with love.
