As someone who has lost someone to suicide - I am just sickened. It is horrible horrible. HOWEVER - I am NOT going to judge this man. He has attempted to be a white sheep amongst black. His daughter has been accused of murder and I'm sure he knows the truth in his heart. His life is like a fishbowl for the world to see. I can't say I'd be chipper and happy in this wackadoodle situation. Poor man.
a prayer for George:
Dear Lord, you are the great and mighty counselor, our provider, our protector. Lord - you love this man. He is one of your children. He is hurting and needs the peace that passes all understanding to wash over him now. He needs to feel your comfort and strength, Lord. I pray for a hedge of protection around him, Lord. I pray you keep Satan away from him - tempting him to take his life. I pray, Lord - that you send your angels to comfort him. I pray that you give him a hunger and thirst for your word and for righteousness. Lord I pray for Casey - that she tell the truth and end this family's suffering. I pray that George gets help for his troubled heart. Lord you are the one he should turn to. I pray he finds his way to you. Lord - help him find the quiet place in this storm. Bring people that care and love him near. Draw him to your bosom, Lord. Help him to understand your words and your ways. I ask these things in Jesus' name, Amen.
Sorry to do that here - but so so many times I have told people, "I will pray for you." And then get caught up and forget. My pastor said to stop RIGHT THERE and pray RIGHT THEN. I am trying to heed that. I don't mean to offend non-believers - but I just had to send up a prayer for this man.
