[Alice]

It's ok, steelbeliever. It's not your fault. You're human. You're not *supposed* to know everything.

:_( Yes, I'll pray for you. Remember, it's not your fault. God loves you. It will be okay. Someday.

[heero yuy 95]

Ouch. I'm sorry to hear this. losing ones close to us can be very hard. Just remember that God loves you and that evrything that happens is a part of his plan for your life. And as Alice said it's not your fault. I will pray for you as you go through this time of hardship in your life.

[Syreth]

Oh my goodness. I am so sorry to hear that. Lord Jesus, my prayer is for strength and healing in my sister's heart as You bring her through this trial. Although the pain must indeed be terrible, I thank You, Lord that You have conquered death once and for all. I pray that this loss would draw all who were near to Phil closer to You and closer to one another. Lord, we don't understand why things happen, but You know all things. Thank You, Lord. Amen.

[Hephzibah]

Amen

Steely, I know that such sentences may seem hollow and empty, but I really really do feel for you, and you can count on me interceeding for you and others affected by this tragedy.

I have a Bible verse that may help you; it is 2 Corinthians 1: 3-6

3Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, 4who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God. 5For just as the sufferings of Christ flow over into our lives, so also through Christ our comfort overflows. 6If we are distressed, it is for your comfort and salvation; if we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which produces in you patient endurance of the same sufferings we suffer.

[Silvanis]

I know it is INCREDIBLY hard, but hard problems can be helped by praying hard. I will pray hard.

[Felix]

James 1:12 says
"Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him"

I will be praying for you. God bless.

Man, now I feel bad about making a cheery post in your other thread...-_- I pray that you'll feel better soon. It hurts really badly right now, but someday you will feel better, I promise. God doesn't give us a bigger burden than we can handle...although, as Talame said, that may seem like hollow words. And if you need to talk, just drop me a PM or IM.

[agasfas]

I'm sorry to hear about the loss. But like Alice said you can't blame yourself... there's no way you could have known. As long as you been a good friend to him, there is nothing you should be ashamed of. I'll definitely be praying for you and your sadness.

[holysoldier5000]

I am praying for you. I have been for several weeks now... ever since your first prayer request. And I really do feel for you. Maybe the words of a song can help...

Still the Cross by FFH
Sometimes it seems the world's unraveling around us
We fear it all may one day come undone
We can't forget the One who came before us
To forgive the past and bring hope for what's to come

When it all comes crashing down
The cross still stands alone
And on this our faith is built
And our courage is made strong

When the world falls apart
And you fear for your heart
There's a tower of peace
It's still the cross

So bring your sick and your poor
And your longing for more
To the place of relief
it's still the cross
There is hope for the lost
It's still the cross

Sometimes it seems that I have been forgotten
I don't know how I will make it on my own
But the One who said I will never be forsaken
He still hears my prayer and I will never be alone

Though the world may not confess
You and Your holiness
One day all will see
You in all Your majesty
And the cross will stand alone
As the place where You made known
Your love for all mankind
Till then in it we'll hide

God Bless
