People without some big dramatic reason they need prayer are just as important as those who do. Day to day life, to "keep on keeping on" requires faith and it requires support from the Lord, because life, and wanting to continue to live it, can be so very hard. Compounded by loneliness. So sad. I am blessed to be praying for your brother and wish him only the best. Things like this make me think of the John Prine song where he says, 'you don't have to be alone....why don't you come on home?" If someone can't go to where their heart feels "home".. they need so much compassion.
