My unsaved brother died suddenly in his sleep this past Sunday and his funeral is today. Please pray for my family to be knit together and help each other. Please pray that Gods hand is on our future that His will is done with the mortgage companies and banks that they think of people and not money so my sister in law can keep her house.

Please pray for me as I am an introvert and I feel like I am going to suffocate around crowds I have been very depressed and scared for the future. I feel like the man who said to Jesus "I do believe, help thou my unbelief". I know God can my fear comes from not knowing if he will. I have always had trouble expressing love to people and receiving love from them. I see people at church hugging, laughing and expressing affection for one another and it looks wonderful but when it is directed to me it hurts and feels like the walls are closing in on me.

Please pray for us to get through this day and the uncertain days to come. I covet your prayers and love you for them.

Your brother,
John

I'm sorry for your loss. I pray you and your family can find peace during this difficult time.
 
Marshall, you are an articulate man of deep thought.

That crowd won't be examining you cause they don't care, we would be surprised to know how little we are in people's thoughts, go boldly for those who do love you and support them.

I will pray for you.
 
yes Lord, let you hear, and bless this prayer request, please bless this mourning family, they need your help and guidance now, please bless them all, also bless MarshallJohn, in Jesus loving name, Amen!
 
your Brother is in Jesus' hands, don't worry about him, concentrate on loving and receiving
from those who love and care about you, if you do this, you will reap great rewards, not to
mention a new courage that can carry you to places that you cannot believe...

I also have the same fears and anxiety as you do not as bad maybe but i have been a hurt soul for many years and i have the best defense system up probably better then any money could buy. Heck they should put me in the Mexico border to keep people out my own defense system would be the best defense for the country lol.. jk I do find myself pushing away when some one tries to hug me or kiss me or show me affection that is because of the hurt i have suffered in life. It takes time to lower these defenses sometime they may never go away for good or much at all. But slowly getting your self out and about may make it easier. The more you do what you fear the easier it becomes to keep doing it. Like i hate shopping and being in large crowds and places so i try to force myself to do what i am uncomfortable with.. As far as fearing the future your not the only one with this fear as well many people are afraid of what will happen. I can tell you i often have to stop reading news posts and turn the news off. some days it is so upsetting to me I cannot sleep. So i suggest to you to do the same thing turn off the news and just have faith that God will protect you no matter what...
 
Also I am sorry for the loss of your brother. it is not a great thing to have to deal with the loss of a loved one. I am sorry for your pain.
