Well....
I made a decision that I want to see my father. It will be for two hours this Saturday.
He has been.....a bit violent with me in the past so others in my life aren't thrilled about it.
I'm super nervous that it's just going to become a session where he can put me down and remind me of how much I failed him, but I also think there is at least a little hope to show him how much I really do wish I had him in my life despite what he has done to me...

There will be an officer with us while we are together and it is a public event, so safety probably won't be a problem, but just pray for ease of everyone's mind in this situation and that this ends up as something good

Will keep you in my prayers. Bring a bible with you, might throw him off some. And if he tries something God can shut him down pretty quick like.

If I bring a Bible with me you can be sure he will attack me.
He strongly hates ANY religion.
No daughter of his will ever hold a Bible in his presence

May angels surround you and him, may they occupy the enemy and minister to you both.

All the more reason to bring it. Let him know you have the Almighty on your side and nothing can stand against you.

I am way to scared to bring a Bible with me.
Last time I saw him was in the hospital when he tried to choke me, I am not confident enough in our relationship to do that....

Heck I volunteer to be by your side. And if you are too far away I say we stand in prayer with you on the day and hour you meet him. Anyone with me?

Aw....thank you
I would love to pray before I leave, but during the event I am putting my phone away and only taking it for emergency. I want this to be a good opportunity to where we can hopefully build our relationship, so I'm going to try to focus on that and not technology.

But, it would be a huge blessing to pray right before I leave with yall.

We could definitely set up something. I'm sure a few who have gotten to know you some on here would be able to set something up.

That would be great if the Lord changes your dads heart.

I think I remember you when I was on here before. How is your cancer going? If I'm wrong and this isn't you lol then I'm sorry for the mistake.

I did have cancer twice, and another scare not to long ago.
The scare was a false scare and I don't have cancer again :)

Praise God. Maybe that was God healing you before the tests? I think you had quite a few of us praying for you. I remember you posting about it.

Maybe, all I know is that it wasn't God's plan to put that trial in front of me right now, so I am thankful.
And yeah, I posted requesting prayers, it was pretty nerve racking....

No, don't irritate him on purpose... the Word says a soft answer turns away wrath (Proverbs 15:1), and to honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long (Exodus 20:12).

Regardless of what he has done in the past, the guy is messed up inside (or he would be better), so keep an attitude of forgiveness and respect towards him knowing that the Lord desires to save him and deliver him from whatever it is that causes him to be ugly.

No need to take the Bible... God's Word is in your heart, and people need to see the Living Word in someone's life before they could ever believe. You are the only Jesus he may ever see.
