My brother of only 41 took his last breathe Infront of me on Sunday of last week. He died of a rare cancer within a year of diagnosis. Me and him prayed so hard and put our faith in the lord and his favorite saint and they failed us. Plz tell me where God lives so I can go to his house and confront him. I have been very sick myself for a long time and never complained once about it to the Lord. Why has he taken the one thing I loved the most. My brother wanted to live so bad and fought so hard. I am not perfect but try to do the right thing. I do not want to die but death no longer scares me. The Lord has taken everything from me. I told my brother don’t worry I’m coming to him soon.

Hi, my name is Theresa! I am deeply sorry for your loss. I to have lost a brother. At times the pain is so real and the rejection of death so profound, that you almost can't accept it.
Please understand with God there is a purpose for everything. A time to live and a time to die. I cannot tell you why God allowed your brother's death. However, I can assure you that his death should bring you closer to God; do not blame God. God didn't cause the cancer. We need to know very assuredly that our enemy is satan. He wants to kill and destroy. Jesus came to give us life and life more abundant. Cling to Jesus because he is returning soon for those that love him.
I pray God will bless you with all spiritual blessing in Christ. GOD LOVES YOU!

Your reaction is very normal and thank you for sharing with the rest of us. It is quite okay to tell God how mad you are with Him; I did the same with my mother, especially since I gave her the gospel at the last moment but could not tell, because of where she was at, whether she received Christ or not.
Being angry is grieving. But I echo DinoPaul that ultimately, God is in control. Place your trust in Him, especially when you are mad and upset with him. Peter James

Job sought to confront God. Have you read the book of Job? Job questioned God and God gave him a question in return.
Job 38:4 Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding.
Perhaps you could tell me who is his favorite saint?
For the cause of Christ

Might want to get to know the real God, since you thought some saint and you and your brother's sheer determination would resolve this to your brother becoming immortal.
Death better scare you. There is more after we die, and as it stands now, your more is Hell.

If you want to know where God is so you can confront Him, I can tell you where to find Him. You can find him in every living thing; under every rock and in every piece of wood; He is in the deepest depth of the oceans and the horizons of the universe. He lives in me and in you, for He is the is God Almighty, Creator of all things seen and unseen. And you think that, in His infinite wisdom, He let your brother die for no reason. Now, brother Paul, read this again. Does it make sense to you ? I have lost many loved ones, at very young ages. I don't question God........I love God and He loves me. I trust God, knowing that all things under Heaven are in His control and nothing.......NOTHING happens that is not in His master plan. Father, we pray for our brother, Paul, that he may find comfort knowing that all things are in Your tender loving care. The things we can and cannot see move by the will of Your divine grace. In the name of Christ, who is our only Savior.........AMEN.
I have lost so many people too...that I never shed a tear in five years...my heart was a stone from the emotional scar...so many bad things happened I had no more tears left...I tried so hard to save my brothers life through prayers and doctors...driving him to New York breathless because I have my own medical condition where food aspirates into my lungs...I have seen miracles so yes I believed god could grant me one...I would have laid down my life for my brother...or gave him half the time I have left...I’ve seen the light and I’ve seen hell...but the lord hides...I’m telling you I see so much evil and greed and judgment in people’s hearts there is no way the lord can be in every living thing
This is much easier, brother Paul. He is on the tip of your tongue......waiting for you to speak His name. Go to a quiet place , Paul, and have a good long talk with your Lord and Savior. Tell Him exactly how you feel, and about all the things you hoped would happen, but didn't. Then, dear brother, ask Him to come into your heart and comfort you so you may grieve the loss of your brother whom you love so much. From the time you first heard His name you heard also that He loves you. Well, dear brother, I'm here to tell you one more time. Jesus loves you and He loves your brother, who is now in His tender care. Soon enough, brother Paul, we will all be reunited with all those loved ones who have gone before us........What a glorious day that will be......GLORY TO GOD.....I will continue to pray for you, asking for His comfort. Now Dear brother........go talk to your Savior.

Try a speech therapist in a hospital for your weakened tongue muscle. He/she can help with the food aspirating into the lungs problem. (Hubby had that. He has it less now that he does tongue exercises and follows the ST's advice.)
As for light and hell? You've seen neither. Had you seen the Lord's light, you would not be so greedy to demand he give you what you wanted. And you would not be so haughty as to dismiss him just because he didn't give you what you wanted. You are the sinner you bemoan of all others on earth. He is your salvation. Cry out to him, because you sure aren't punishing him by pretending he doesn't exist.

Jesus said " behold i stand at the door and knock. If any man will open the door i will come in to him and be with him and he with me"
The door is your heart. He is knocking. He wants you. He has chosen you. Pray to him and ask him in. You have to open the door and invite him. Dont worry HE WILL COME IN.
You ask "how do i do that"?
Pray " Lord Jesus i am broken. I come to you with a wounded heart. A broken spirit. I need you and desire what the bible says. I want you Lord Jesus. Come in to my life. Fill me with your presence and your being. Make me new. Flood me with your warmth and love. Make me born again"
Pray that my friend. Ask him in and he WILL FILL YOU. He will be your friend,your brother,your guide and your Lord and your Father.
You are now a member of his family!!!!!
