My dad

I'd like to ask for prayer for my dad, he's not a Christian and I'd like him to get saved.
More specifically is that he's ALWAYS rubbing me the wrong way, always getting on my nerves. I have a major hate problem when it comes to him, recently he's been exploding over stupid things like a toaster not working or the gas cooker not cooking right. I'm having a hard time keeping my cool.
My dad's name is John.
If any of you are in other sites, prayer groups or whatever could you please ask them to pray for him too? I want to get as MANY Christians praying for him as possible whether they know him or me or not.
Thanks for your help

My dad is an athiest (though I bet I could convince him that he's actually an agnostic, not that that's much better). I know how tough it can be. I'll definitely pray for you.

I will pray for you father.
My dad wasn't an active Christian for the first 11 years of my life, but thankfully he is now.

I will pray for your father and that you remain strong and show yourself as a good Christian role model in front of him regardless of how he might irritate you.

My dad isn't saved, either, so I can understand your situation. (My dad is, at least, going to church right now, praise be to God!). I'll pray for your dad, Skynes.

If any of your churches have a church prayer list or something could you put him on it? I want to put together a prayer army for him (trust me, he needs it.)

Just so you know, my dad died this morning of a cardiac arrest. Kind of ironic really, he was going to the hospital for an angeogram or something (stick a camera up an artery to find out whats wrong with his heart). He never made it to the hospital.
I'm ok with it, but my family are taking it pretty hard and we're all in a state of shock, so could you please pray for us?

That's really sad and unfortunate. It's too bad, but unfortunately not everyone can be saved. Sometimes it was just never meant to be.

It turns out my dad's life insurance expired 4yrs ago and was never renewed, so the earthly posessions he bequeaths to us are his debts, loans and credit card bills with virtually no way to pay them off....

My dad's funeral was this morning, quite a big turn out. Finished off with bagpipes playing which a nice touch (he was Scottish). I know for certain now that my dad is with Christ, in a good sense of the term. I was unsure of whether he was saved or not, but had a peace that he was. My Pastor then told me today that while he was praying for his salvation God said to him "He is saved.", which pretty much confirmed my own thoughts.
Please continue praying for us, although a good chunk is behind us, there's still a good lot to go (Christmas is going to be especially nasty).

The law firm that dealt with my dad's will has closed down, and now his will is stored in some huge solicitors firm. We need the original to deal with his estate and it can take up to a year to find it! Could you please pray that it gets found quickly?
Until his estate is settled, we have literally zero money coming in, yet we still have to pay his loans, mortgages, his insurance! (which is really ridiculous, what dead man needs insurance?)
