pray

..without ceasing.

For my big brother. Everything inside of me aches for him to see God in a real way. He has such an incredible personality and the power to influence people in a way he doesn't realize. He's one of the few people I literally don't think I could survive without. He's dwelling in his past mistakes, not understanding that he can move past that and create a new life. My once loud, outgoing, light-hearted, joking older brother has become bitter, quiet, distanced. He won't talk to anyone about anything...not even me, we used to talk about everything, we were so close. My heart hurts for him.
