Need prayers.

[RvW]

As many of you know, my father passed away not long ago 7 weeks after an accidental gunshot.

Tillamook County feels as though an indictment was in order, and has charged me with Manslaughter in the second degree, AND criminally negligent homicide. As I understand it, one of these is a measure 11 crime, and I am preparing to defend myself as a criminal??? due to a terrible accident.

I guess I am not in a position to discuss specifics, there really isnt any other than it was an accident (which they understand) but I could use all the silent prayers I can get as I prepare to turn myself in to the sheriff, and face these charges. I cant imagine losing my dad this way, and then have to be punished for a freak accident which was not anything I could have avoided under normal circumstances.

I ask the lord to have mercy on me, and to help those who will decide my fate to be partial, seek the reasonable answer, and put thier faith in the lord. I am no criminal, and losing my father has been more than enough to handle.

I ask my fellow IFishers, and christian brothers and sisters here for a prayer.
Thanks

COTR, while not in your shoes I can only imagine the turmoil you must be going through. My heart pours out to you in this tough time and even though things look tough I would like to encourage you to keep your focus on the Lord and put your trust in Him and not in the system. When I experience tough times I refer to this scripture:

Hebrews 11:1
Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.

I am praying for you brother, keep your head high and your walk strong.

YBIC, Keith

I can't imagine what you must be going through right now. I'll pray for you so that God will take care of you. Remember the story of Job, God will not put anything before you that you can't handle.

Daniel 4:37-"....glorify the King of heaven, because everything he does is right and all his ways are just....."

Not nowing the curcumstance in what is involved here, I will surly hold you up and those around you in prayer. We live in a sin cursed world and many times when things happen that dont seem just, in time, will be brought to justice by the King of justice. We try to find answers from Heaven when Heaven seem,s like Brass, and God does not hear. We walk this stright and narrow road when many times it leads throught one of the most darkest valleys that one can imagine. The Cross many times gets very heavy, and those of us near you, who are stronger need to bere one anothers cross. We also screem out sometimes with hot scalding tears flowing down our faces wondering if he hears, the one whom loves him so much. But God will neaver forsake those whom he loves. His rightneous he will never forsake!. That is why we are drawn away and tested and tried. Because in the Valley he will restore your soul.
