Please pray for my brother Kazzy. He is lost and in a very bad, dark place. He’s 56 years old and is an alcoholic, has been most of his life. He has greatly hurt and ruined his family due to his alcoholism, temper, and verbal abuse.
A couple years ago, he went through a messy and painful divorce with his wife. Then six months ago, his youngest 21-year-old son got into a car with his friend after they both went out drinking and ended up in a canal and tragically drowned. Since then, he’s fallen into an even deeper depression and doesn’t go to work or leave his house anymore. He also has, what we believe to be cancerous tumors on his ear, neck, and head, possibly even in his throat and lungs according to his only remaining son.
It’s gotten really bad, to the point that it’s bleeding everywhere and has turned black. Our mother recently visited him unexpectedly and discovered him to be very pale and sick. She said he looks absolutely horrible and is very concerned for him. He’s pushing everyone away and isolating himself and doesn’t want to accept help from anyone. He doesn’t talk to any of us, his siblings, and barely speaks to our mother.
When she tries to reach out to him, he usually ignores her calls and on the rare occasions she does manage to speak to him and voice her concerns, he always tells her he’s fine and that everything is okay. He refuses to talk about what is going on with him and quickly gets off the phone with her; he also doesn’t allow anyone to come over and see him. He refuses to go to the doctor and do anything about his physical and mental health. He also holds a lot of anger and unforgiveness in his heart.
We think he is allowing himself to waste away or “punish himself” because he has a lot of guilt about what happened to his family, especially his son. We’ve told him about Jesus for many years but he refuses to believe and accept Him as his Savior. We are most concerned about him dying without Jesus Christ and we ask you please pray for his salvation and deliverance.
Thank you and God bless you all.
