Disciple of Prayer
I want to request prayer for my son Christopher. Today I had one of the biggest shocks of my life, and I have no idea how to handle it, except through prayers. But I’m going to need help with this one because it cut straight to my soul. In brief, my son, 37, approached me and said he had something he needed to get off his chest, so to speak. Me being a loving dad told him I’d be glad to listen. Then came the shock. He told me with burning tears in his eyes and obvious pain in his heart that he was deeply hurt because when he was a baby in the hospital after his birth……. This is the shocker: that I had him circumcised! Which I did, of course! But he went on to explain that he feels that is only for the Old Testament and babies these days do not need it!! I could feel from his eyes that he was deeply wounded! He told me that he feels the procedure robs the male of some pleasure during intercourse! And he felt it was just as cruel as how in Egypt and other countries they remove the female clitoris, thus depriving the female of her main sexual pleasure. (Yes, I agree that is cruel and wrong and certainly an abomination to God!) But I don’t feel it deprives men of pleasure. But Christopher apparently believes the foreskin is a source of male pleasure and by circumcizing males they are robbed of much pleasure. He told me he had been holding this inside for years! Well I stood there dumbfounded! It took me totally by surprise, and I was nonplussed! The truth is being 37 long years ago I have no recollection of that fateful day in the hospital and how the decision was made between myself, the doctor and my now deceased wife. 37 years is a loooooong time! I don’t even recall if the doctor asked my permission or if we consulted between him and my wife. My memory is a total blank. I don’t know what else to say, except I’m requesting PRAYERS for my son! Me and my now deceased wife had Christopher and my other children layed hands on and dedicated to the LORD when they were babies by the late Dr Lester Sumrall of LESEA. Please, please, PLEASE pray for him!
