This is one of the children on my ex husband's side. The parents have always been vehemently anti Christian. One of my children is handling this pretty badly.
Harry age 11 has a brain tumor and it is too large for them to operate - there is a slim chance radiotherapy could reduce the size of the tumor.
I may not now have much contact with this part of the family but the children do as there are two older brothers the same age as mine - all the news I am getting is via texts sent to my daughter to update her - and she is not handling things well with lots of other stresses. Please pray for Harry first and foremost.
Me as I minister to my own family - my daughter has had a psychotic guy in her church scare her silly and has to leave ( or feels she has) for her own safety. Unfortunately the guy thinks he is in love with her and they were friends till this all happened ....Plus her best friend has cancer. This is not the best time to lose a church, a ministry and all your support group apart from your mum.
My son seems to be having a huge crisis in his life too. Not sure what it is all about but it does feel we are all somehow having a pretty bad January.
Meanwhile ....if I could just get my head round my own stuff....financial (it is bad and I badly need to find more work) and spiritual and know I was going in the right direction and that various things at church will work out it would be brilliant. (Some issues have come up as they will in any church mainly around a very labor intensive church member)
Thanks, Jacky
When I am old and grey I will still be dancing. The only reason the young don't dance with joy before the Lord is because nobody ever showed them they could.
Dear Jacky, I know how terrible you feel after upon being surrounded from all sides by fearful situations in the family.
Read( Psalms 118:10-17) , it is my prayer that Harry should not die but live, that your daughter get established and settled in the Lord that the Lord who knows what your son is going through gives you more grace and wisdom to approach him and offer comfort and guidance for his life, please act fast and let him not linger in that state for long. in fact after finding out what is troubling him you may direct him to another counsellor as sometimes we may not be very successful with a family member when they are under heavy stress. You as a mother and servant of God needs to focus on getting yourself free before you can help these others, therefore my prayer is that the Lord first of all grant you a break through financially, Spiritually and emotionally.
It is like you are at the brink of the Red sea as a family and the enemy is in hot pursuit, high mountains are on the left and right, and the raging sea right ahead of your path. But I am confident to see you on the other side when the Lord will make a way out and you shall cross over. I pray that you shall not be hit by anxiety but spend more time in prayer seeking God's direction for your life and family (Read Php.4:6-7)
Be encourged, a brother in Uganda is raising his voice in prayer for you among others.
God bless you

Father I aske that You and You alone would be glorified through what You are doing in this family and church. I ask that You would bring peace where there is no peace, and comfort where there is only turmoil, and hope where all hope seems to be lost. You Father, are a miracle worker and a God of miracles. I ask that You would reveal Yourself to Jacky in a way that she knows it is You working and moving in her life. Amen!
