Humble Prayer Partner
Need prayer about how I am feeling. My father died last year on september 4th, and even though I am not depressed anymore, I still find myself still having a hard time, and feeling undeserving of the American flag that I received at my fathers funeral. During the time he was alive, I found myself frustrated with him a lot, while taking care of him. He died at the age of 88, usually adult children who take care of their parents, should have lots of patients with them, I did not. My brothers on the other hand, had more patients than I did. I took care of him out of love and respect for him. I feel bad for not being the kind of daughter he needed me to be. I am having a hard time forgiving myself, for not being there for him more, like I should have been. I was very depressed for 4 months, my loving husband had to work hard to pull me out of it, then about 2 months ago, back in April my younger brother goes into a federal prison, for fraud. He will be in there for up to 2 years. I love my brother, even with the bad choices he has made in his life. He has no idea how much this has affected me, between losing our father last year and now him being in prison. It feels like I have been through hell with all this stuff. It feels as if I lost my brother too. Its gonna be a long while before I get to see him again. The federal prison he is in is out of the state of California, he's in a federal prison in Texas. Please pray that god speaks to his heart, and meets him in this place, and to protect him from harm while he is there. I have heard bad things about prisons. Please pray that god keeps me strong. And to deal with these feelings.
