My biological father passed away a few days ago; what

[Rod]

My biological father passed away a few days ago; what I need prayer for is whether or not I should go to his funeral services. He severed our relationship about a year ago and has made no effort to try to reach out to me. I feel I should go, but I also feel hypocritical going to pay respects for someone I really don't know or have a relationship with.

trust your feelings and go to your fathers funeral. It is written to honor our parents. This is a possibility to do this commandment - do it for the sake of the Lord, no matter what was wrong in the relationship.

Lord, we pray that You bring healing to the heart of Rod concerning his father. We pray that You be with him and give him Your peace. We pray for wisdom and guidance, in Jesus Name. amen

The only thing that I'm truly concerned about is his new wife and her family saying something to me. Without going into great detail his new wife is the reason that we didn't have a relationship. It's really complicated, but basically I'm really hurt at the way he just served our relationship like I didn't mean anything to him. It's like there's two people that are suppose to be there for you and support you no matter what and one of those people turned their back on me. Thankfully and praise be to God that I have an excellent mother and dad (step-dad).

I prayed for you. May God bless you with the wisdom to make this difficult decision.

I pray that you will go. Keep your time with his wife very brief and civil, just tell them you are praying for him.

Remember your father the way he used to be. I'll bet your father had some regrets about cutting you off before he died.

Look one year down the road....will you regret not going? You probably will.

I have prayed for this. In Jesus' name, Amen.
