Pray

This morning as I write, there are several people on my heart that I'd like for you to pray for specifically.

The first family is the family of a 16 year old Jessie Boone, who was on a spring break ski trip and hit a tree and is suffering a brain injury. (She's a family friend of a dear friend of mine in Mandeville). Those of you that are family members reading this, know the sadness, fear, ups and downs, etc. that can come from having a family member in this situation. Let's all pray that she will be healed, that her family and friends will be comforted, and that God will work in this situation, no matter what the outcome. They have a care page set up for her at http://www.carepages.com/carepages/JessicaBoone if you are interested in following her progress.

The second prayer request is for a little girl that is related to my Bible Study leader, who was just diagnosed with stage 4 neoblastoma in her abdomen. She is at Children's Hospital in New Orleans, and has a long road ahead of her with chemo treatments to shrink the tumor, and surgery following. The treatment plan is for the next two years, so they have a long road ahead of them, and I know they could use our prayers. She is 2 (I think). Her caringbridge site is http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/adriannacavanagh.

Next, Emily (my sister) taught school in Brookhaven last year, and one of her students was killed in an automobile accident coming back from a Spring Break trip last week. The other passenger in the car, also a student of Emily's is in critical condition. I don't know much else about the situation, but that they need our prayers as well.

I am earnestly just writing these requests for your prayers. I know that it is difficult for some (me, too) to read about these situations in care sites, and not get emotionally involved, so if all you do is lift up their names in prayer, God knows exactly what they need!!

Thanks for yor faithfulness!

Dear Heavenly Father,

Our hearts pour out our prayers to you this morning. Our hands are lifted!
I love you, Amen.
