Silly Prayer Request.....

[RandyWayne]

I know this doesn't carry the same weight as other major tragedies that hit folks, but we're (mainly my wife) going through a very hard time now. Her dog Jake, is going to be put down in the next 24-48 hours after a 14 year life and it is proving to be harder then she thought. She bought Jake as an 8 week puppy just a few months after her Mom died and has been with her ever since.

I think I will have a hard time, but it will be murder for her. I just wish it could have happened at a better time......

Jake is the one in the Yoda outfit.


Guarding the house!


Going Swimming!

I will pray. And this has got to be even harder considering he was her companion to deal with her mom's death. Its like re-opening those wounds again.

May God bring some comfort to you both.

Thanks! It IS hard to loose a pet..... Especially one who was with her during a VERY hard time in her life.

I don't think it is silly, it is going to be a genuine loss, and I feel for her. I can imagine what I would be going through if I were losing my dog, they do become part of your family.

I'll keep you both in my prayers.

I had to use the word "silly" in the title becomes it seems a bit trivial when put up against others where parents are dying and home are burning. But it is a big deal to US, right now.

Thanks!

I am convinced that if something causes us pain - in any form - God feels that pain with us. I believe that He is touched by our hurts. Just any good parent hurts when their child hurts.

With that in mind, I am headed for prayer right now, so I will remember your wife and you while I am praying.

I sure will pray.

I completely agree.

RW- I've been where you are, and it wasn't that long ago--- and it still hurts. It just isn't the same around this house without her "guarding the house" while we're away or sleeping, and greeting us every day. We got a new puppy to love, but it still hurt having to put "Lady" down.

I recommend you get another one as soon as you can to make a part of your family. It does help to fill the empty place somewhat.

I'll be praying for both you and your wife.

Bro. Randy Wayne,

Jesus said to cast our cares upon Him for He cares for us.

Regardless what causes us cares and concerns, if we take time

to pray, He has time to listen. I believe He wants us to bring all

these concerns to Him. I don't believe He thinks they are silly

either.

Lord God, would You give peace and comfort to RandyWayne and

his dear wife. You see this beloved pet and companion that has meant

so much to her during the loss of her dear mother. You know just how

to minister to this couple and we thank You for what and how You will

see fit to do it, in Jesus Name!

Blessings,

I'm just now seeing this and no, it's not silly.

I just prayed for healing for my dog a couple nights ago. She had a pulled ACL and surgery last year and did fine after the surgery. The other night she went tearing off chasing a rabbit and has been holding that leg up ever since and I just prayed for God to mend it because I don't want to see her hurting and I can't afford for her to have another surgery.

She is walking on it now better, so I'm believing that God heard my prayer.

I can't imagine having to lose a pet - I will remember you guys in prayer.
