Your answer<\/a> based around John’s not praying for a man who sins in a way that leads to death has finally cleared it up for me. This has troubled me for a while, and I thank you.<\/p>\nIn the end, I will pray one more time for him, and also turn the entire situation over to\u00a0God, who can handle it better than I. I also feel that by letting go and letting God, His will is for me to be free of this situation will let me be able to handle whatever else He has in store for me. He probably had it all planned, waiting for me just to learn this lesson.<\/p>\n
Just wanted to also thank you and the work you all have been doing. “Doing Church” without all the politics is where I think God wants us all to be, concentrating on the Truth, “In this world of toils and snares.”<\/p>\n
Peace to you all, and may you be blessed!<\/p>\n\t
