Thanks Exie.
I’m going to open with a call to the G-d of my fathers by reciting Psalms 8 and then wing the prayer from there.

I would like to be there. Which version will you read from?

My dad uses a different version than my brother, and I use a different one than both of them. I was just thinking if I had to do what your doing, which version would I use and why.

And I won't go into it, but I told you awhile back that I too had issues with my sibling. He has a 10 year old daughter. Her name is Trinity. I've shared pictures here of her and Scout her dog. I will be meeting her for the first time today and the first time I've seen my brother since my mom passed away in 2007.

Alot going on in our worlds right now. Different contrast in Emotions but close to the same intensity. Maybe? Well, you know what I mean.

I’m going from memory so it will be closest to the ESV or NASB

I do.
I don’t know what your situation is but…
My sister and I don’t get along. I’m playing nice for the sake of my mother and the promises I made to my dad to care for my mother. As long as my mother lives I will bite my tong and pretend everything is beautiful.
I really hope that you’re day goes better than you could have hoped for.

I believe my Bible is the inspired word of God. It tells me God hates pride and it's very clear about it. Doesn't matter which version you read, it's the same message and I've found the information concerning pride to be true. My pride has cost me and destroyed more in my life than anything else has and it's not even arguable. I'm swallowing my pride today with hope it'll start a new habit.

My dad took them fishing yesterday and is bringing them here for lunch. I believe he's more excited than any of us. They bringing me some fresh fish too. Woot. Lol.

JayBird always taught me that “there is only now, no past and only a possible future. You should use this now to make all the possible future nows as good as they can be”. I hope that this day is the start of many happy nows for you and your family.

Ok…
I appreciate y’all putting up with me while I process all of this.

so I started out “ G-d of my father’s, G-d of Abraham, Issac and Jacob, how glorious is your name throughout the earth….” Then it all went to crap. I was an emotional mess for the rest of the pray. Through the rest of the psalm and everything that followed. Honestly there were probably moments when I could not be understood till I got to the…”..I ask in your glorious name, and in the name of Messiah whom you sent “.
I effectively ruined everyone there. It took a little bit before the next person could speak.

The silver lining is I probably won’t be asked to pray again.

Something our church handbells director reminds us of, when things go spectacularly bad (it’s really hard to hide a mistake when ringing bells): this is not a performance. It is one of the ways that we participate in a (worship) service together, as flawed but deeply beloved humans, complete with our tears and our fears and our occasional herp-derps.

You gave a prayer as Jaybird’s only son, and your love for your dad and your grief at his passing showed, as anyone would expect. As someone who cries easily at everything from birth to death and all points in between, I marvel (as in “I’m baffled”) at those who remain composed in times of great emotion.

Go show yourself some of the love and forgiveness that you show to others, and just be with your family and let all this drain out of you. You’ve had a pretty shattering week.

shalom

I posted that very verse in that thread a couple of weeks ago. I spent 15 minutes on the response I just left in there because I had to delete most of it.

Lol. It's beyond me.
