Bible Discussion Thread

I'm requesting prayers for my whole family and I. We were informed Sunday that one of my close cousins committed suicide. The whole family is hurting and are beside ourselves.

Please no negativity. I honestly can't handle it.

Sincerely. Thank you.

The "Our Father" prayer gives me great comfort when I can't find the words that's why I am sharing and praying it during this time of loss, please also accept my deepest respect and sympathy regarding your loss.

Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen. ( Matthew 6:9-13)

Thank you so much for your kind words and prayer. I will be reciting that prayer.

DearHmason,

I am so sorry to hear this sad news. When I was in my twenties, one of my cousins died in a drink driving accident (he was 19). He was the passenger in the car where the driver was inebriated. It was a one car accident. Then within five years of that his younger brother committed suicide at 17 or 18. Things like this are very hard to process and grieve through.

I will certainly keep you , your family, and your cousin's family in my prayers this week. Check back with us to let us know how your are doing.

Thank you so much for your thoughts and prayers. I'm sorry to hear about what you went through. I will update sometime next week.
