We are a Christian family but we are completely heartbroken since the death of our Son Daniel, just over two years ago. Daniel was 17 years old and has a twin brother Matthew. Daniel had been unwell for a while but Dr’s kept putting it down to other things but I just knew they were missing something. Eventually he was diagnosed with a very rare lymphoma and died three months later. I always thought he would get better, believing that our God would heal him. Our Church and others prayed and prayed and we believed that Daniel would come through this….he too had given his heart to Jesus. We don’t understand why God didn’t heal Dan and we have asked so many who cannot answer our questions. We don’t understand how God chooses who gets healed and who doesn’t. We are completely heartbroken and finding our life now unbearable at times. Please can anyone help us? Thank you for taking time to read our request for prayer.

I pray Jesus you help this family with their pain, and show this family what their purpose is and gods will for them.

Dear B
Having lost someone precious, I know how it feels to not understand why or how God decides who He takes to be with Him in Heaven, but I do know that when He took them I was left with memories of them that have made me a better person, a more grateful person, a changed-for-the-better person and a person who has learned to live a more abundant life for having known them and for my faith which consoled me. It took the Sting out of death even though it still took me years to come to terms with her no longer being here to share this life. Grieving is painful, but important – not to be avoided and not to get stuck in – but important because it reminds us how much we loved them and, therefore, how much can love. Miss them, never forget them, but realise they are well Loved in Heaven. And we are here on earth with people that still need our Love. Pray for God to give you the Strength to Love Well again.
I will be praying with you in that 🙏
And I will be praying for you B to grow through your grief and to come out a stronger, bolder and more confident B than before this trying time.
God loves you and has His arms wrapped around you. I am praying (and will continue to pray) for you.
God bless you 🙏 Amen

Praying for you and your family. I understand what a heartbreaking journey you are on. We lost our youngest daughter suddenly and also our eldest grandson. I don’t have any answers for you but pray God will bring you His overwhelming comfort and peace and that you are able to rest in Him and know He sees every tear you cry and understands your pain!🙏

We know a little of your heartache. Our granddaughter died at 16, a true believer gone home to be with the Lord.Much prayer went up & church prayer too but it apparently was His will to take her. We will catch up with her later. Great comfort to know she was saved as your son. Cling to that. Gods ways are not ours , He knows .best what he is doing in our lives. Four years later He took our 43 yr old believing daughter her mother too with cancer. Leaving husband & 3 teenage sons. These things are hard but we have to accept Gods plans & ways are best. 2 Corinthians 1.
Reach out to others in sadness. There is much need for that at the moment & it brings healing to self. We pray for your comfort & settling love Lynda

Dear parents,
I am a dad of four kids, age between eighteen and twenty four. I never experience such pain you are going through, and I feel unworthy of asking God for such a loss in your family. I’m a strong believer too, but facing lots of difficulties too. However, as a believer in God, I believe what I pray for some times is not the best for me, and for someone else that I pray for. Although this seems like a failure on our side, but relaying our trust in God who always decides the best for us, would be the only way out of our pain and suffering.
We can judge, question, and do all sorts of things, but that won’t help. During times like this, it seems God has completely forgotten us. With a humble heart and trust in Him, He will reveal care and bring peace in your heart. ‘
Heavenly Father, I am also unworthy of presenting this sorrowful family before you, as if you have no notice of what happened. Nothing happens without You knowing. We believe that You can feel our pain, and we can only ask for Your comfort and Your loving care to accompany us during times like this. Please Father, do not leave us uncertain, In Jesus name we pray during times of difficulties and sadness. Amen.
