Someone To Die For

But there's no point in telling God anything that isn't true. So here's my first question: How do you really feel about this situation, about this man? Pray for him to die. The young woman was startled. This clearly wasn't what she'd expected to hear either.

Do you think God doesn't already know how you feel, what's going on in your life? There's no point telling anything other than the truth. I decided to try a different tack. Would you be willing to pray a prayer written by God? I picked up a Bible from the pew and opened up the book of Psalms. You can't go wrong praying one of these, can you? I took a pen and circled these verses from Psalm But it is you, my equal, my companion, my familiar friend,with whom I kept pleasant company; we walked in the house of God with the throng.

Let death come upon them; let them go down alive to Sheol; for evil is in their homes and in their hearts' Psalm I want you to take this Bible home and pray this prayer every day. A few weeks later we saw one another again. I asked her if she had been using the psalm to pray. She told me she had. But I refused to be discouraged. Some weeks later we met again — the last time I ever saw her. Once more I asked her if she was still using the prayer. I asked her why not. At least, not that day.

But I realized I didn't want him to die. I've been using that one. I hope you don't mind. That young woman was shocked and surprised when I suggested that she pray for her former partner to die. I've told this story in many contexts since that day, and wherever I tell it people seem equally startled at the advice I offered. Which raises a simple and straight-forward question: It sounds marvelously pious to say that she should have prayed for grace to love him, for mercy and forgiveness, for a change in her own heart so she could come to terms with his behaviour.

And these would have been good things to pray. But they wouldn't have been true. If we learn anything from the school of prayer we find in the book of Psalms, often described as the 'prayer book of the Bible', it's that honesty is everything. The poets who wrote these ancient prayers were unafraid to expose their hearts to God and to the community, creating songs filled with joy, wonder, celebration, pageantry, satisfaction, gentleness, peace, and more — but also with rage, horror, lament, darkness, doubt, shock, and despair. He either wants people close to him, physically, or interesting stuff.

Here are the things that Alice can talk about that will make Bob happy: Stories of old adventures they had together. Oh boy, yes I do… it was awesome!

Somebody to Die For Songtext

Hope is not medicine, as I explained. Assume the brutal worst.

When my oncologist saw my scan she immediately called me and told me, in her opinion, it was cancer. In both lungs, all over the place. I put the phone down, and told the children. The next day I told their schools to expect the worst, then my lawyer, then my notary. Ten days later the biopsies confirmed it. That gave us ten more days of grieving and time to prepare.

Be honest and transparent with others. There is no shame in dying, it is not a failure.
