Dear Lord, please don’t take my brother away from us. He’s been abroad to live twice, and both times ended in disaster and we nearly lost him. He’s thinking seriously about going again, but I know you brought him home for a reason, so that he has his support system and for him to be safe. We’re all frightened of what will happen if he goes, and frightened of being so far away from him. Please give him the strength and wisdom to realise that you brought him home to us for a reason, and that staying in the UK is the right thing for him. This next bit may seem selfish. But, I cannot be without my brother. I am truly petrified of this situation. Please help us both lord, I beg of you. If you require something in return, please cause me pain, cripple me, make me bedbound, give me another heart attack. I’ll suffer, take anything else from me, but please don’t take him away. I’m desperate, we all are, because we know what happens when he goes abroad.
