My dad passed away this morning. This is really difficult for me, because my dad abandoned us (my mom with six kids from ages 2-10 years old) when I was 4 years old. The emotions I'm feeling now are not easy. The pain he's caused has all come flooding back to my siblings and I today, and it's been a difficult time for all of us.

Would you please pray first for God's mercy for my dad? He was not a good man, his life was very selfish, and not a christian one. But I've been praying for him for years, and praying that in these last days, he came to Christ.

Would you also pray for my 5 siblings (one older sister, and four brothers)? My biggest concern right now is for each of them, knowing what excrutiating pain I am going through today, that they too must be also enduring some very difficult pain as well. Thank you so much for your prayers. I appreciate them more than you can even begin to know.

Love,
Tracy

Praying, Tracy. Reliving all your frustration and still trying to be Christian to and praying for your dad must be tough.
