Christians: Will you pray for my Dad?

My dad had prostate cancer 6 years ago, which metastacized to his bones 1 1/2 years ago. His bone scans were getting better, but then 2 weeks ago, life fell apart. It's very complicated, but first he had a stent placed in his heart, then 2 days later we learned his cancer metastacized to his skull. After a week of radiation, he is weak and confused. My brother and I cannot manage his medications (he's also diabetic). Friday afternoon, my dad fell, then at about 9pm, he asked my brother to take him to the hospital, where he suffered a mild heart attack in the night.





They need to do surgery to fix the heart, but if they do, he will bleed into his brain, causing a "vegetative" state. The doctor recommends we make him comfortable and let the end come, which I can see the wisdom in that.





I've placed my dad in God's hands. I know that a lifetime is but a moment in eternity, and that I will see him soon, if he goes. But I am still praying for a miracle. Thank you so much.

Reply:I pray for you. Is your dad a Christian? If not, I hope you won't hesitate to share the Truth with him one last time.





If he lives or dies, remember that God has a plan and will take care of you. God bless you, your family, and especially your dad.





I can relate to you because a few months ago my dad also had cancer - a tumor in his knee. Praise the Lord, we think that it's all gone now. :-)
Reply:I am not Christian and therefore will not presume to offer a prayer you have not asked me for, but I just wanted to say that you have my sympathy and I hope that your father's passing is as peaceful as possible.





Take care of yourself -- be sure to eat enough, sleep enough, etc. I just went through losing my own mother to cancer, and trust me, you'll need to make sure that you're looking after your own health.





EDITED TO ADD: American Rebel -- well said. I would have been happy to offer a prayer, but again, since I was specifically excluded from doing so... *shrug*.
Reply:I will pray for him. And you say you are praying for a miracle. That miracle maybe that he go to Glory to be with Jesus. If so then God will be right there with you to give you piece through the Holy Spirit. God Bless you and your family.
Reply:Tell him to eat raw broccoli.
Reply:In times like this--know that God is love--and the things that would cause a loss of faith can also give you new courage and hope--It is good to trust the Lord with someone you Love and know that God will do what is best for your dad. May you find rest in your search and know that Faith is the victory.


bless you, in Jesus name
Reply:I hope it is ok with you if I pray for your family and all those who will be and are affected by this unfortunate situation. I, too have lost family to cancer, both my mother and father died of cancer, along with other family members and friends. and I have known a great many family members of mine who have died in my life while i was younger. I am not christian, i am pagan, but i used to be a catholic and i do sympathize with you and know what you are going through to some degree.
Reply:i lost my father april 8th of this year.please take it from me make him comfortable at home and keep close to your reve 21:3,4 also also hold this thought In the Christian Greek Scriptures, the word “resurrection” occurs more than 40 times. It is translated from a Greek word that literally means “a standing up again.” The corresponding Hebrew expression means “revival of the dead.” After a person dies, what is resurrected? It cannot be the body, which decays and returns to the dust of the ground. What is resurrected is not the same body but the same person who died. Thus, resurrection involves the restoration of the life pattern of the individual—his personality traits, his personal history, and all the details of his identity.





Jehovah God, who is perfect in memory, has no problem remembering the life patterns of those who have died. (Isaiah 40:26) Since he is the Originator of life, Jehovah can readily bring back to life the same person in a newly formed body. (Psalm 36:9) Moreover, the Bible states that Jehovah God has “a yearning”—an earnest longing and desire—to resurrect the dead. (Job 14:14, 15) How glad we can be that not only is Jehovah able to bring a person back to life but he also wants to do it!





Jesus Christ too plays a key role in resurrecting the dead. A little over a year after beginning his ministry, Jesus said: “Just as the Father raises the dead up and makes them alive, so the Son also makes those alive whom he wants to.” (John 5:21) Does not the experience of Lazarus show that Jesus Christ has the power as well as the desire to resurrect the dead?





What about the idea that something inside us goes on living after death? The teaching of the resurrection and the idea of the immortality of the human soul or spirit are, in fact, incompatible. If something inside us survived death, what need would there be for a resurrection? Lazarus’ sister Martha did not believe that when her brother died, he continued to exist in a spirit realm. She had faith in the resurrection. When Jesus assured her: “Your brother will rise,” Martha said: “I know he will rise in the resurrection on the last day.” (John 11:23, 24) And when brought back to life, Lazarus did not relate any experiences of an afterlife. He had been dead. “As for the dead, they are conscious of nothing at all,” states the Bible. “There is no work nor devising nor knowledge nor wisdom in Sheol [the common grave of mankind], the place to which you are going.”—Ecclesiastes 9:5, 10.





According to the Bible, then, the only remedy for death is the resurrection. But of the countless dead, who will be resurrected, and to where?





Who Will Be Resurrected?





“The hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear [Jesus’] voice and come out,” said Jesus. (John 5:28, 29) According to this promise, those in the memorial tombs—those who are in Jehovah’s memory—will be resurrected. The question, then, is, Of all those who have died, who actually are in God’s memory awaiting a resurrection?





The Bible book of Hebrews chapter 11 lists by name men and women who faithfully served God. They as well as those loyal servants of God who have died in recent years will be among the resurrected ones. What about people who failed to meet God’s standards of righteousness, perhaps because of a lack of knowledge? Are they also in God’s memory? Yes, many are, for the Bible promises: “There is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous.”—Acts 24:15.





However, not everyone who has ever lived will receive a resurrection. “If we practice sin willfully after having received the accurate knowledge of the truth,” states the Bible, “there is no longer any sacrifice for sins left, but there is a certain fearful expectation of judgment.” (Hebrews 10:26, 27) Some committed sins for which there is no forgiveness. They are not in Hades (mankind’s common grave) but in Gehenna, a symbolic place of eternal destruction. (Matthew 23:33) We must be careful, though, not to speculate on whether a certain person will be resurrected or not. This judgment belongs to God. He knows who is in Hades and who is in Gehenna. For our part, we do well to live our lives according to God’s will.
Reply:According to Christians, god already knows what is going to happen. So, how would praying help change god's mind.
Reply:I will pray that God's will be done, that he will bless you and your family with peace, and comfort you no matter what happens.





I am glad that you have faith, and understand that life after this one is so much better. I do not know how people who do not believe can cope.





Whatever the outcome, I hope that your father does not have to suffer and be in pain.





God Bless,





Tina

Reply:Of course I will pray for your dad. Also for you and your brother. God bless you. (I lost my dad to cancer two weeks ago. It's a terrible loss, but God's grace saw him and our family through it. I know He will do the same for your dad and you.)
