Please pray for my family. In March my 13 year old grandchild shot and killed his Father. He had really bad fear issues since his dad had been deployed to Iraq 4 times. And my grandson mistaken his Father for a break in. We are devastated! My daughter and 3 grand kids have moved in with my husband and I. My grandson has been charged with negligent homicide and we have court procedures ahead next month. It is so hard not to question God. My family try to serve & walk with The Lord and then this. I can't shake this depression. My friends have become strangers. Please pray as The Lord leads you. Thank you & God bless.

There are NO words, I can't imagine your dispear, I can't imagine your hurt. We think that if we seve the Lord, all should go well, and when it doesn't we wonder what we did, what was our part in it? Maybe if I had done x then y would not have happened. We think there were signs that we should of maybe been able to read.

We think, we think, we think.

Let me just say this, that everything you are feeling is completley normal, what you feel is real, and you are not supposed to feel like you can cope because what happened to you and your family is not okay. We live in a fallen world where bad things happen, does this make it ok, no, does it mean that I am not allowed to get angry no, does it mean that I think I am supposed to act a certain way no.

Hang on and I do mean Hang on, because at times it feels like there is nothing else, to the knowledge that the Lord goes does know, He is the only one who knows, He feels your pain, He sees your heart, He walks in front of you to prepare a way for you. Grab Him with both hands my friends, and never let go.

He will NEVER leave you or forsake you.

I can't even imagine what you are going through. I will be praying for you and your family. Know that you have friends here and and an even bigger one in the Lord. He is all you need. The Lord sometimes allows things we can't understand and while going through these difficult times, I find it best not to dwell on reasons, but rather to push through and lean on Him for strength. Praying for you all! God bless!
