Hi everyone, my aunt has cancer and it looks like there's not much that can be done.
I'd like to see her in the next couple of days but I have an important role in an upcoming event on Saturday that I can't find anyone to fill in at short notice.
Thus I am hoping I can make some time on Saturday morning to see her (she lives around an hour's drive from me).
Please pray that I will have the opportunity to have a heart-to-heart conversation with her.
Thanks.
Prayer for more time

Re: Prayer for more time
I'll definitely be praying, Sammy.

Re: Prayer for more time
Thank you for keeping this in your prayers, I greatly appreciate it.
I have just finished writing a four page letter to my aunt, because I don't know how much time I have tomorrow.
I hope she will be able to read it (since I can no longer write in Chinese properly, I stuck with basic English in the hopes she can understand).

Re: Prayer for more time
Thank you all for your prayers!
My aunt and I were able to have a good conversation, and later on I was able to tell her how I came to believe in Jesus. She said she wanted more time to think things through before deciding whether to commit to Christ, though she was happy for me to pray with her in general, which I did.
When I left, she also accepted my letter.
Thank you for your support.

Praise the Lord! That's awesome to hear. I'll definitely be praying for both of you from the bottom of my heart. May God's will be done!

Re: Prayer for more time
Awesome! I'm glad to hear that sir. I hope she will accept Jesus as well.
"Show me thy ways, O Lord; teach me thy paths. Lead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou art the God of my salvation; on thee do I wait all the day." Psalm 25:4-5
"Turn thee unto me, and have mercy upon me; for I am desolate and afflicted.
The troubles of my heart are enlarged: O bring thou me out of my distresses.
Look upon mine affliction and my pain; and forgive all my sins.
Consider mine enemies; for they are many; and they hate me with cruel hatred.
O keep my soul, and deliver me: let me not be ashamed; for I put my trust in thee.
Let integrity and uprightness preserve me; for I wait on thee.
Redeem Israel, O God, out of all his troubles." Psalm 25: 16-22
Thank you. Have a good day.

Re: Prayer for more time
Thank you to those who have prayed / are praying.
I visited my aunt last Sunday, and she was very tired (closed eyes, often resting). I did not want to disturb her but prayed that if God was willing, for her to have energy to talk with me.
About a minute after I prayed, she opened her eyes and started talking to me. I asked if she wanted to pray with me and put our hopes in Jesus. She took my hand and said yes. We prayed for God's forgiveness and committed ourselves to placing our hope and trust in Jesus.
We talked some more after this but she was having trouble staying awake so I said goodbye to let her rest.
This morning, my parents went to visit her and saw that she was struggling to breathe. My dad prayed for my aunt with her watching, and asked that God ease her suffering.
After he finished the prayer, my dad said he saw my aunt visibly relax, and then she passed away.
Even though she was unable to say the prayer along with us, I believe she had the intent in her heart, so I am hopeful that she is now with our Lord.

For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal." 2 Corinthians 4:16-18

Re: Prayer for more time
I'm sorry I didn't see this until just now. I'm so glad to hear that she came to know Him, though. I actually went through almost the exact same thing with my grandmother. She knew Him, but she left the church when she was about my age and never intended to go back. She finally did go back as much as she could and came to know Him on a deeper level only weeks before her passing. If you need to talk or anything, just send me an email or PM.
