Thank you for those kind and helpful words, quite frankly they couldn't have come at a better time, you see since I posted this prayer request my unsaved father aged 82 has become ill and tomorrow (at 7.45am british time), will undergo life saving surgery. I just seem to have been unable to reach him with my words of Christ. I am praying for both mercy and time for my dear but unsaved father. God is good though. The Lord helped me to bring my Mother to salvation 2 weeks before she died and has brought salvation also to one my nieces, as outlined in my original prayer request. I am not giving up on my Father yet though. It is all in the Lords hands now. It is nice also to know others care as it can be hard to think stright when under emotional strain. I thank the lord though for even now at this difficult time I feel sad, worried and under pressure; but you know what after reading those words I can also feel a strength that can only but be from Christ. Thank you again for your kind words and prayer and may God bless your kind heart, Amen.
