Prayer request: He's dying. And honestly, I'm done praying.

xspinningisfun · 01-07-2010, 05:10 PM

Hey. When my Nana died on october 21, 2008, the day after, they diagnosed my uncle with cancer.

My mom is going up to visit him. He lives in Oregon with his family. He has two boys (i think one is in college and one is a senior in high school).

As of right now, he is getting worst. My dad said that the end may be near. :/ I don't understand why. I know God hears our prayers, but why isn't God healing him? I'm not going to turn my back on God. I love God. And I know that His ways are higher than our ways. But why isn't God just listening? Why does it seem that every time our family has someone with cancer, God just doesn’t answer the prayers?

I know God’s not going to answer this prayer. He didn’t with Nana and he won’t with Uncle Kib. I’m done hoping. I’m just done. I don’t want to get my hopes up, thinking that God will heal uncle kib. Because we all know that He won’t. I do love God. I do. But as of right now, I think I’m just fed up with this whole cancer thing.

So can you just pray for my mom and the family? That they will get through this? Much appreciated. Thanks

I'm so sorry to hear about the trouble your family is going through. Cancer is awful. Prayer is definitely on the way! BUT you've gotta have some faith! "...with God all things are possible." -Matthew 19:26
Now, I can't promise that your Uncle will be healed, ultimatly that is God's decision. Everyone has their time, for some it's sooner than others but God knows when the time is right for everybody. God does hear your prayers, I promise. He's just doing what He feels is right at the time, even though it hurts us at the time. He does everything for a reason. You can get through this, God is with you the whole way!

-Anna.

Well, as of right now, I'm done praying. Maybe God will decide to listen to someone else. Because as of right now, I'm done getting my hopes up. But thanks for your reply

AnnaSmiles · 01-07-2010, 08:18 PM

I know you feel like you're done praying, but God DOES listen to your prayers. I think the best thing for you to pray for right now is strength. Pray that God will help you handle this situation! Don't give up

I'll continue to pray for you, your uncle, and your entire family.

xspinningisfun · 01-07-2010, 09:18 PM

I'll pray for strength. Thanks.

I'm just not praying for my uncle anymore.
As cruel as that sounds, I just have a feeling that God once again won't heal.

Becca · 01-08-2010, 05:27 AM

A different point of view [not mine necessarily]: God is taking your uncle to be with him - maybe he knows that if your uncle stay on this Earth he will sin and maybe not repent in time to be with God for eternity? Maybe God just wants your uncle now? If your uncle is suffering then why not want him to go to God?

Also I can't imagine how hard this must be for you

So many prayers going for you all!

christianpoet92 · 01-08-2010, 08:34 AM

I agree with Becca. A postive view on his "leaving" is that he will be in a place of no sorrow, no pain, no heartbreak, no tears but a place of pure joy, loving people/family who will always comfort him, a place of praise and unknown artistic beauty, and he will be engulfed in His "real" arms for the first time and forever.

I know a "leaving" of someone is painful but he is not gone forever, you will see him, reunite with him, and be with him for eternity in heaven. On Earth, your uncle will stay with you in your heart and the same goes for everybody who have "left" already. Even though your uncle is "gone" physically, he is not gone spiritually and will always have a place in your heart. ^^

If he "leaves", than he "leaves" like a dove on a gentle wind, a gentle wind of love.

I will pray for you and your family! Do not give up hope! =]

Blessings to you my spiritual sister. ^^

xspinningisfun · 01-08-2010, 11:12 AM

Sorry guys, but I'm still gonna be sad.
It's not wrong feeling sad over something like this.

Thanks.

Sweetoffee14 · 01-08-2010, 11:45 AM

I think being fed up is an ok place to be, I think God may not heal your uncle, for reasons we can't even begin to think of and maybe you won't be able to "be ok" with that but I think that maybe that's alright. God knows you, he cries with you, and I think he can deal with you not being ok with another family member dying because in all honesty death is horrible, it wasn't the way things were meant to be and the day we become ok with anyone dying is the day we lose what God's heart is for his people.

So I would prefer you to continue not being ok with this than force yourself into another position, we will take on the burden of interceding for your family as that's what we are here for and what ever anyone else says I don't mind if you post (or PM) how you're feeling, some people can't handle that it's acceptable to be not be completely 100% AWESOME all the time (not referring to anyone here, just general experience of Christians) and I wanna give you permission (not that you need it) to be yourself as you are in this, and any other, situation.

I'm sorry this is happening again, for the little it's worth *hugs*.

Tragedy makes perseverance, perseverance makes character, character makes strength, and strength makes hope. ^^

I'm sorry, to xspinningisfun, if I came across a lil unsympathetic. I just was trying to cheer you up, I am an optimist for the most part.

I know how death is, it is very sad and sorrowful. I have been there many times (my fav uncle died when I was seven, all my grandparents are dead, etc.), it is not fun. You feel like you are being torn apart into little pieces (depending upon how close one is to a dead loved one). But pray to God and He will help you "persevere" through your time of darkness. Tragedy builds in us new strength and perseverance.

I hope for you to have all happiness! Bless you with peace! ^^
