Prayers...

  • May. 6th, 2007 at 2:26 AM

Hi all... How's the month of April and May been to you? Hope everything is well to all my faithful readers. :)

I'd like to ask for your prayers on my family's spiritual well-being. I think most of you remember reading about my brother's testimony and how his life touched so many of you outside my family.

My family is on the borderline of slipping away from their faith in Christ. My father chose to accept God, probably only at the time my brother was so ill that he was hoping that somehow with his change in faith, my brother would miraculously be better which as you know, he did not get better physically though i know he is well spiritually. My father has long since change to a strong believer in feng shui and being a worldly man.

My mother, being of a traditional wife, would rather follow my father and long ancestral beliefs passed through generations. Though I have witnessed her said the sinner's prayer, my greatest fear for both my parents that in their hearts have already dismissed God as the only God and Christ as their saviour.

Just last night, my mother told me when she registered with my sis for my sis's IC, she told the registrar my sister is a free thinker. Although I know that all of them have said the sinner's prayer, I am still worried that all of them will slip even further away from God, as my family has not attended church for a long time.

When I asked my mother and father last night, after that incident my mother shared with me, who have they been praying to all this time to seek for help and guidance, my parents just laughed it off. I feel really sad hearing that they felt this way. I know my brother would want them to continue their faith in God as my family learnt about God when He used my brother to reach out to my family.

Please pray also for Ben. He is once a strong follower of God but he lost his trust and faith in the church system and does not trust in any churches as yet. Pray for the both of us to find a church to settle in for now I have seen how much I have fallen behind without the guidance of the church and its members.

Once a friend, forever your sister in christ.
Hey net, read your recent few entries and is happy to know your current welbeing. Cant wait to meet you and catch up with you. Don't worry, once they have said the sinner prayer, they are saved. Anyway the bible said, as long as one in the household is saved, the entrie household is saved! :D Jian

i always thought your family is very devoted christian. That's really weird... anyway, i just want to say I am glad i found my new faith in buddhism.. I think it's what you choose to believe at the end of the day... events come and changes.. and shapes your belief.. that's what i believed...

P.S. i also lost trust of churches... but i hope you guys will be able to find one...
