I'm praying for my ex fiance. we parted after many years of engagement and living in sin. i have ms and he couldn't cope with it. so i walked away. not long after, i came to faith and although I'm alone, i don't feel that way with Jesus as my friend. I'd dearly love for him to be saved as he now has brain cancer and has had a rare tumor removed. I'm finding it hard to leave it with God but as he says when he dies, that'll be the end of it and that God is a myth, I start losing my faith that with God, all is possible. i get so weepy during some prayers for him yet other times i don't feel the need to pray for him. should i keep praying for him or leave it to God? love this channel ☝
Jill would tell you that we keep praying until God answers. We join you in prayer that your friend will come to know Jesus and that more people will come into his life that can point him to our Lord and Savior. Praying for you as well as you struggle with this, know that God is sovereign and put your trust and faith in him. It's not our job to save, but to share Jesus, which you've done. God will take care of the rest. God bless you!
Imagine for a minute that the English language was so designed that there were separate pronouns for white and black people. If our pronouns distinguished between whites and blacks, would it be OK to always use the ones for whites when referring to God, to assume that God must be the spiritual equivalent of whites, as well as males? English pronouns don't distinguish between people of different colour. But there is a problem wrt gender, isn't there. Any linguists out there who can suggest a solution?
