| Please pray for my brother. He is having a very hard time right now. He doesn't really know what he wants in life and he is having difficulty with his girlfriend. I am truly worried about him and try to talk to him and listen to his problems, but am having a hard time with finding the words to say to him. I have been praying and have been patient, but am just worried about him... |

yes. prayers sent, short747.
Your Bro has got to figure out what he wants to do first. Kinda like the Cheshire Cat in Alice in Wonderland. Alice comes to a fork in the road and doesn't know which way to choose. She goes back and forth in her thoughts and words, and the Cat asks her: "Where do you want to arrive at?" "I don't really know," says Alice. "Well then, if you don't know where you want to wind up, any road will get you there!" says the Cat. I've had the same talks with my two brothers: one over a cup of coffee, the other over numerous beers. Again, some more tips: on the eve of Operation Torch I believe he told his troops: "Live for something; don't die for nothing." Ask your brother gently exactly where he wants to be, how he plans on getting there, how exactly you can help him. If your Brother is heading for a crash or hard times, don't be afraid to tell him so. Speak the truth.
