We are having many problems with Pat's dad. He's becoming quite delusional and paranoid. The reason, we moved him over here was Pat's love for his dad and that he was becoming more and more in need of help and we worried that in his declining years he would have no one. In the process of all this we found he was depressed and somewhat mentally ill. But it has reached the place where we can not be around him as he has a long list of litanies about all the things we do or don't do and more and more of it is not true. It hurts Pat horribly. Pat's dad is instead now fond of his son-in-law who's wife is dead and is now openly in a relationship with the woman who he was cheating with while his wife was alive. The wife was dad's daughter! Pat had another episode with his dad yesterday. This morning, I was reading my Bible chapter for the day. II Chronicles 20:12 says "We do not know what to do, but our eyes are on You." God informed the king who prayed this that the battle was not his and he was not to be discouraged or afraid, that the battle was God's. I thought that this verse and story was so how we should handle this situation. Then I thought there was probably some of you who could use this verse in your lives, also. Hence the new post. Read the whole chapter to see it in context and to find out what God did. May God touch you today as you read His word.
