[__ Prayer __] Neighbor with Bergers

[Jehovah-Rapha]

I noticed my young neighbor ( 30ish ) ( who recently married ) very sad yesterday, he said he was diagnosed with Bergers -> kidney failure.
He commented how he has suffered with depression since a teenager. I think he was trying to say how this was going to affect his fight with depression. I have always seen him very happy and friendly. He looked like he was about to cry. He has to quit smoking, if he is to be placed on the organ transplant list. He told me he smoked to help with depression. I don't think they are believers. I am praying for him, would some one else join me, please

Amen dear sister. I wonder if at times if it such incidents as this being the only way to drive a person from self to calling upon our Savior, and thus having eternity with Him.

Your neighbor is in my prayers, Jehovah-Rapha.

Something you might suggest to him: Exercise.

Exercise helps to combat depression. Plus it helps to tone muscles which would definitely be a plus when the time arrives for organ transplant. My neighbor has been on the waiting list for a while now (kidneys, as well), and has taken up walking to prepare. The walking has helped to lose a bit of weight and she's more toned; her doctors are pleased thus far with the results.

No doubt, it is. Jesus uses anything-everything possible to bring children into His Fathers family.

next time I see him I'll suggest it. They both look well. They often hike in the woods on their day off.

Hiking in the woods would definitely count as exercise! And happy exercise at that!
