Dear Friends,
I'm asking here anyone who is kind enough to pray with me for my friend. See, only 3 days after he's 30th birthday, my friend took a rope and hung himself. He's father found him, barely alive, and an ambulance team brought him back to life. But not for long.
Now he's in a state of coma, and the doctors don't give hime much chance... They said He's not gonna make it, they gave him only 24 hours, but something happened.
An impulse showed up on a monitor, indicating brain activity... That was a month ago.
Few days after the unfortunate event, I have spoken to some of you, asking for an advice, what to do, how to pray... and I've been told that, If there's no priest arround, I should give him last rights..
So, after reading all about it and after gathering enought strainth, I took a little bottle of olive oil, asked God to bless it, and entered the hospital.
Since we're not related and since he's on intensive care, the chances of me getting to him were slim. But, I guess God cleares path for us...
So, there I was, with a little bottle of oil in my pocket, standing next to his bed. In my left hand I was holding a peace of paper with a prayer on it, cause I knew I will forget the words once I see him. In the other, right hand, I held a drop of oil, hoping God listens to my hearts wish...
I made a small cross on his forehead. My whole body was shivering.
I started to pray... Holy Father Who are in Heaven... and by the time I was done, a bright, worm sunlight, reflecting the hospital windows was falling straigt into his and my faces.. At the exsact moment I said Amen, a dove landed on the window obove my friends head. It looked inside, at us, shook its wings, and started to fly arroud the window..
I felt wormth. I was still shaking from toe to top of my head. I told my friend: This is God nocking on your window. Just open it, and let Him in. After that wisit, I felt exhausted and cold, like I never felt before.
After a while, my friend's mother said to me he started to give small sighns of life. Doctors still beleave he's good as dead. I did so too, until that day.
Now I beleave my friend is talking to God right now, and all I can do is testify to God what a great person my friend is and that, maybe, God will forgive him this horrible thing he did.
Why do I write this?
One night I was too tired to pray. At that moment I saw my friend, reminding me that I should pray for him.. and so I did.. i prayed and fell asleep.
So, I need help. Unitiy in prayer, in this effort to save one's soul from eternal damnation. To help a friend who, undoubtedly, is fighting the most important battle of his life.
The outcome is in Gods hands. All we can do is pray.
Can you? Just few words to God about my goodhearted friend.
His name is Slobodan.
(on my language he's name means: The Free one)
Please.
